TesseraYour notes, your server.

Notion's blocks and databases, Obsidian's links and graph. Local-first, open source, and yours to self-host.

Local-first, literally

Your device holds the real data. Tessera works fully offline, saves every keystroke before anything else happens, and treats a server as optional.

How sync works

Slash menu, markdown shortcuts, drag handles, tables, callouts, toggles, code and embeds. Type [[ to link a page and # to tag it.

Tour the editor

Table, board, calendar, gallery and list views over typed properties, with filters, sorts and groups that stay fast at 10,000 rows.

Build a database

Backlinks with context, unlinked mentions you can link in one click, and a graph of everything you know.

Connect your notes

Invite people to your own server, see their cursors, and restore any page from its version history.

Run a server

Import Notion and Obsidian in one click. Export plain, Obsidian-compatible markdown whenever you like.
