Linkly AI

Linkly AI is a local-first, AI-agent-native document search engine that turns your computer into a private, searchable knowledge base that any AI agent can query. Built by solo developer @BlueeonY and launched in March 2026, Linkly AI installs a lightweight (~20MB) desktop app on macOS, Windows, or Linux that automatically indexes everything on your computer — PDFs, Word documents, Markdown notes, EPUBs, PowerPoints, images (with OCR), audio, and video — and exposes it to AI agents through a local MCP server and CLI. No files ever leave your machine.

The core workflow is simple: add a local folder, and Linkly AI indexes it automatically in as fast as 5 minutes. From that point, AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, n8n, Dify, and 15+ others can search, compare, read, and cite your documents in real time via the MCP server. Linkly AI builds a structural outline for every document so agents progressively disclose relevant sections rather than reading large files blindly. A local multilingual model powers cross-language semantic search across hundreds of languages with no cloud dependency. For cloud AI apps, the Pro plan's MCP Tunnel creates a secure connection to your local knowledge base without uploading files. A shareable library feature lets you organize and publish curated collections that others can connect their agents to via a single link.

Linkly AI is positioned at the intersection of personal knowledge management and agentic AI — bridging tools like Notion, Obsidian, and Mem with the agent-first workflows of Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. The free plan covers all local features indefinitely. The Pro Early Bird plan is $29/year ($66/year regular), adding frontier AI model access, the MCP Tunnel, and higher cloud library quotas. A 7-day full refund policy applies to all Pro subscriptions.

Linkly AI has a permanently free plan and one paid tier.

Free ($0/forever): All local features work offline with no time limit. Includes full-text search, semantic search, outline indexing, MCP server, CLI, browser extension (save web pages as Markdown), integration with all mainstream AI agents, limited basic AI models, and limited cloud library quota. No credit card required.

Pro (Early Bird $29/year, regular $66/year): Everything in Free, plus access to frontier AI models (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini class), the MCP Tunnel (connect cloud AI apps like ChatGPT and Claude.ai to your local knowledge base securely), higher cloud library usage quota, and fine-grained control over library visibility and access. Coming Soon features include cloud-based high-precision document parsing, and cloud audio/video transcription and enhancement. A 7-day full refund policy applies — no questions asked. Team plan is listed as coming soon.
