Synthadoc turns docs into local-first wiki

Synthadoc is an open-source LLM knowledge compilation engine that ingests documents, web pages, images, videos, and office files, then synthesizes them into a persistent Markdown wiki. It is designed to stay local-first, work with Obsidian, cite sources, detect contradictions, surface orphan pages, and support multiple LLM backends, including Claude Code and Opencode without needing a separate API key if you already have a subscription.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: this is less “chat over docs” and more “compile knowledge at ingest time,” which is the right move if the goal is a durable wiki instead of disposable answers.

–Strong fit for researchers, solo builders, and teams that want a readable, editable artifact instead of a chat-only layer.
–The local-first Markdown workflow is the main differentiator: no cloud account, no vendor lock-in, and easy git-based backup and sync.
–The tradeoff is complexity; the contradiction handling, queues, caching, and hooks make this feel like infrastructure, not a lightweight note app.
–Best positioned as an open-source knowledge management engine for AI-heavy teams, especially if Obsidian or offline access matters.
