Knode

Knode comes as one command, knode, and as a Mac app. The command is enough to give every agent a shared memory; the app lets you see and organise it.

Not released yet: these commands work from v0.1.

The command line

The knode command holds the CLI, the MCP server for your agents and Knode Service, the process that keeps your spaces open.

System	Install
macOS	`brew install knodemd/tap/knode`
Linux (from v0.2)	`brew install knodemd/tap/knode` or `curl -fsSL https://knode.md/install.sh \| sh`

The install script puts knode in ~/.local/bin after checking the download against the release's checksums, and never asks for root. If that directory is not in your PATH, it tells you the line to add. To pick a version or another directory:

curl -fsSL https://knode.md/install.sh | KNODE_VERSION=0.2.0 KNODE_INSTALL_DIR=~/bin sh

Check it works:

knode --version

The Mac app

brew install --cask knodemd/tap/knode

Or download it from knode.md. The app carries the knode command inside and offers to install it the first time you open it. If you already installed it with Homebrew, the app uses that one.

Connect your agents

knode connect claude-code
knode connect codex
knode connect gemini
knode connect claude-desktop

Or add the MCP server by hand, for example in Claude Code:

claude mcp add knode -- knode mcp

Later

What	Where
iPhone and iPad app	App Store, from v0.4
Web app	app.knode.md, from v0.5
Rust libraries	`cargo add knode-format` and `cargo add knode-md`
Swift package	Add `https://github.com/knodemd/knode` in Xcode

Requirements

macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon or Intel. Linux on x86_64 or arm64 from v0.2, with glibc 2.35 or later (for example Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 or newer). Distributions built on musl, such as Alpine, are not supported yet.

Uninstall

brew uninstall knode
brew uninstall --cask knode

If you installed it with the install script, delete the file: rm ~/.local/bin/knode.
