Simple on the surface.
Serious underneath.

01

A folder, not a database.

Point Ela at the markdown folder you already keep. No import, no proprietary format. Cancel tomorrow and nothing changes.

02

Every agent. One line.

Ela speaks MCP, the protocol agents already use. Add it once and Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, Codex, Claude, and the next thing you adopt all read the same notes and get the same answers.

Answers with receipts.

Every hit names the note, the heading, the date, and a score. Coverage says what was searched and what was skipped. A miss says so instead of guessing.

The app

And a calm place to write.

Web and desktop. Daily notes, folders, backlinks, and a search box that talks to the same index your agents use.

Local is free. Forever.

Your machine does the work, so it costs nothing. Cloud reach for agents running anywhere is $8 a month, coming soon.

Web app, desktop app, and local MCP work today. Cloud hosting is not live yet. Reads are never metered on any tier.
