Web UI

The server embeds a React single-page app at /. It’s the same UI the live demo runs — browse facts, search, inspect provenance, time-travel through history, and monitor tasks in real time over SSE.

Try it without installing

The live demo is this exact UI, running read-only against knomit’s own knowledge base. It’s the fastest way to see everything below in action.

The top bar

• A repo selector appears when more than one repo exists.
• A gear icon opens remote-origin configuration (see Remote sync).
• A “Manage repos” menu creates, archives, restores, and purges repos at runtime — no CLI, no restart.

What you can do

• Library & search — browse the ontology tree and run full-text + vector search across facts.
• Inspect a fact — read its frontmatter, body, and provenance: the signed commit, the refs it anchors to, and how its confidence evolved.
• Time-travel — view the knowledge graph as-of any past commit; refs resolve to the versions that existed at that point in time.
• Ontology browser — navigate topics and categories and see inheritance.
• Synthesis & tasks — trigger a synthesis run and watch progress stream live over server-sent events.

Keyboard

The UI is keyboard-friendly — search (/) and a command palette (:) keep you on the keyboard while browsing and inspecting.

Run it as a native app

The same UI ships as a system-tray desktop app (knomit-desktop) that runs the server in-process and lets MCP clients auto-discover it — the easiest way to keep knomit running on your machine.
