One email, at launch
When Mino launches you get one message. No newsletter before it and no sequence after it.

Mino is an open-source Obsidian alternative you can run today: clone the repository, start the container, connect a client. The list is for people who are not ready to self-host yet. Leave your address and you get one email at launch, nothing else.

Run it today
The repository is public: clone it, run the container, link a client. You do not need the list to use Mino now.
Nothing else
Your address is used for that one email. One click in the message removes you, and the list is not sold or shared.
What is done, and what is next
The repository is public and the server runs today. This is where things stand.
Now
The server and the workspace
Markdown vault, editor, search, file tree, command palette, the HTTP API, the MCP bridge and the Docker image. All of it is in the repository today.
Next
Mobile clients
Android and iOS builds are in internal testing. They will wrap the same vault rather than move your notes somewhere else.
Exploring
Obsidian plugins and large vaults
A plugin compatibility layer for Obsidian, and indexing that stays fast on very large vaults.
You don't have to wait
The repository is open and the docs cover the API, the relay and the deployment. Clone it, run the container, and see whether it fits before the launch email arrives.
Before you join the list
What is Mino AI?
Mino is an open-source Obsidian alternative: a self-hosted Markdown vault with an AI agent that files, tags, links and retrieves your notes. Obsidian or any editor can open the same folder. There is no central account.
Can I run Mino today?
Yes. The repository is public: clone it, run the container with the compose file, and connect a client. The list is only a launch announcement, for people who would rather not run a server yet.
What happens after I join the waitlist?
You get one email when Mino launches, and nothing else. No newsletter, no sequence. The confirmation you receive now carries a one-click unsubscribe if you change your mind.
How do I log in to Mino?
There is no Mino login page and no Mino account. You open the workspace, link it to your own server with a relay code or a server URL plus API key, and the credentials stay in that browser. Nothing authenticates against mino.ink.
Is Mino free?
The core is open source and free to self-host. You supply the server and your own model API key, so you pay that provider directly. The agent stays disabled until you configure a provider, model and key; search works without one.
