Create a wiki workspace
Start with one topic, course, archive, project, or skill path.
Local AI wiki builder
Maple
Turn PDFs, notes, links, and research scraps into a local wiki that you can review, explore, and keep on your Mac.
For Apple silicon Macs. Requires macOS 12 or newer.
Workflow
From scattered sources to a maintained wiki
Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki: keep raw sources separate while an AI-maintained wiki becomes the working layer for learning and research.
Import sources
Add PDFs, Markdown, text notes, links, screenshots, or papers.
Build wiki
Use your AI subscription to compile summaries, concepts, and guides.
Explore
Read pages, follow links, and ask questions from your wiki.
Update wiki
Turn useful Q&A or selected chat messages into reviewable wiki changes.
Maintain
Improve pages, run healthchecks, clean up links, and keep the wiki useful as it grows.

What Maple means by an AI wiki
Maple is not a blank Markdown editor or a one-off document chat. It keeps your original material untouched, then asks AI to compile that material into a local, linked wiki you can review, explore, and improve over time.
Think of it as a study notebook that keeps getting organized.
In a normal chat, the useful explanation disappears into the conversation. In Maple, useful explanations become pages, links, guides, and reviewable updates inside a workspace that stays on your Mac.
Read the full guide-
1
Sources are the reference shelf.
PDFs, notes, links, screenshots, and papers stay as the original evidence.
-
2
The wiki is the working layer.
AI drafts summaries, concepts, guides, links, and navigation from those sources.
-
3
Changes stay reviewable.
Generated edits are shown as drafts, so you can inspect them before relying on them.
Local first
Your archive stays inspectable
Maple is built around plain local folders: sources stay immutable, generated wiki pages are reviewable, and the workspace can be opened outside the app when you need it.
No Maple account
The MVP does not add app accounts, payments, or sync.
Local file storage
Workspaces use readable folders like sources, wiki, index.md, and log.md.
Reviewable AI changes
Generated edits are tracked so you can inspect what changed.
