What it does
Nexlore is a self-hosted browser notes app that stores pages as Markdown files. Its repository describes spaces and folders, wiki links, backlinks, a local graph, comments, version history, search, and an Obsidian-compatible import/export path. The app can be deployed with Docker Compose and is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.
Build a note space you can run yourself
Nexlore's project repository documents a Docker Compose setup and a browser interface for Markdown notes. Create a space, add folders and notes, link related pages, and use comments or version history when a note needs discussion or revision. The README also describes task views, local graphs, and import/export, so it can support a small shared knowledge space rather than only personal files.
The latest release is v1.8.0, released on 2026-10-24; it adds a cover-flow browsing mode for spaces and folders. The official license file is AGPL-3.0. Nexlore is self-hosted, so the operator is responsible for deployment and backups; no instance was deployed and no notes, imports, comments, or restore operations were tested.
Strengths
- Markdown pages, folders, wiki links, backlinks, and a graph bring several note-navigation tools together.
- Comments, version history, tasks, and import/export support collaborative note spaces.
- Docker Compose deployment keeps the app and its data under the operator's control.
Watch out for
- It requires self-hosting and ongoing server maintenance rather than using a managed note service.
Best for
- Small groups that want to collaborate on Markdown notes in a self-hosted space
- Users migrating an Obsidian-compatible vault into a browser-accessible app they operate
