How it works
Any document → Markdown → any output
MDDock turns your files into searchable, linkable, version-controlled plain text first. Then it works for you.
Import anything
Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, web pages → clean Markdown, with metadata preserved in frontmatter.
Markdown is the source
Your files are no longer binary black boxes. Every note is plain text you can search, link, and sync with git or Dropbox.
Export anywhere
The same .md files become Office documents, Marp slides, web pages, or PDF — only when humans need familiar formats.
AI can actually read it
LLMs answer from your Markdown notes, cite your past judgments, and write drafts that stay in your vault.

Memory that grows with you
Every person, project, and idea you mention in a note gets quietly remembered. Next time you write, the “maybe related” sidebar pulls up older passages automatically. When you chat with AI, it cites not generic knowledge but the half-finished judgment you wrote three weeks ago. Your vault is its long-term memory — keep writing, and it grows on its own.
- ✓Hybrid recall (keyword + meaning) across every note in the workspace
- ✓Passive “maybe related” hints in the editor — dismissable, never blocking
- ✓Chat suggests first questions from your recent notes
- ✓Save answers back into the vault → the next round gets smarter

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is MDDock free?+
Yes. The desktop app and all browser tools are completely free. No sign-up required for browser tools; the desktop app is free to download and use.
Where are my files stored?+
Everything stays on your machine. MDDock is local-first — your markdown files, history, and search index never leave your device unless you explicitly publish or enable cloud sync.
Can I use MDDock with AI agents?+
Yes. MDDock ships a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Point Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-aware client at it and your agent gets ten tools backed by your local vault.
Does MDDock support Word, Excel, and PowerPoint?+
Yes. Import .docx / .pptx / .xlsx to get searchable markdown. Export back to Office formats when colleagues need them. The .md file is always the source of truth.
What's the difference between MDDock and Obsidian / Notion?+
MDDock is local-first and agent-native. Your vault is a plain folder of markdown files (no lock-in), and AI agents can read, search, and edit your notes with full context — not locked binary blobs.
Can I use my existing Markdown files?+
Yes. Open any folder as a vault and your existing .md files are immediately indexed, linked, and searchable. No import or conversion needed.
