Memory your agent can cite, and you can edit.

Ordinary retrieval hands an agent text. Akno hands it evidence with enough structure to act responsibly: every returned claim carries a page line or document-page citation, recall finds and ranks that evidence while answer produces a separately verified response, and a clean miss stays distinct from a failed model or a degraded ranking path.

Indexing leaves the set and bytes of your source files unchanged by default. Search projections are rebuildable, so the same notes you edit in Obsidian, vim, or any other editor remain the thing Akno reads from.

Pages, source documents, inferred observations, and ignored material carry different roles and retrieval policies. A proposal or an attributed report stays useful as context without silently becoming a current fact.

Mutations are journalled and undoable. The nightly dream cycle plans exact diffs before a human or a separate curator decides what may apply, and scheduled maintenance defaults to audit mode.

Akno is in active pre-1.0 development and runs on a real personal knowledge base. It does not replace your editor, backup system, or judgment—it only knows what the indexed files and documents contain. See Limitations for the boundaries that matter before you rely on it.
