Hi everyone — I built something over the past week that I wanted to share:
Concord is a lightweight, offline-first cognitive engine that runs locally and uses a structured format called DTUs (Discrete Thought Units) for ideas, reasoning, and knowledge.
This isn’t a chatbot.
It’s closer to a personal research workspace with:
• DTU creation + indexing
• Forge Mode (CRETI) — break ideas into Core / Reasoning / Evidence / Tests / Impact
• PersonaOS — create small “agent personas” that generate DTUs
• Autoprocess — optional background evolution of your DTU graph
• Offline mode (no tracking, no ads)
• Online mode (optional, if users want to connect to an LLM)
The whole stack is open source because I want people to build their own tools on top of it.
Right now Concord is a simple community version, but its purpose is clear:
give people something that feels like a thinking workspace, not a website.
I’m sharing it early to get feedback from developers, researchers, and builders who care about offline tools, cognitive systems, or new ways of organizing knowledge.

If anyone wants to try it, contribute, or fork it for their own projects, I’d genuinely appreciate the eyes on it.
Thanks for reading — happy to answer questions.
