Foam

Personal knowledge management on VS Code

About Foam

Foam is a personal knowledge management system built on Visual Studio Code that links Markdown notes into a graph of ideas. It is typically installed on Linux servers or containers and administered through configuration files, a CLI, or a built-in web interface. In practice it rewards a little setup effort with long-term independence, transparent behavior, and a community that documents real-world deployments.
