Personal OS is the operating system for your life installed in your digital home.

A modern note-taking and productivity system built on WordPress with the latest and greatest WordPress features.

Few principles

  • Methodologies borrowed from Building a Second Brain, and GTD
  • Inspired by Roam Research, Logseq, Obsidian and Tana
  • Opinionated. I will ship features because I want them
  • Has to work with any WordPress supporting plugins
  • Implement things the WordPress Way™. WordPress has a ton of new APIs.

Features

I consider this a humble start. I intend to grow this feature list until it becomes my main notetaking app.

Notes

WordPress is very close to a great note-taking app out of the box. It just requires a few customizations:

  • Fully private "note" Custom Post Type
  • You can embed one note in the other via the Note Block
  • Autosaving on by default so you never have to press save
  • You can link notes using WordPress completer ([[)

Transcriptions

Upload an mp3 and it will get transcribed and turned into a note.

Readwise sync

Notes sync with Readwise.

  • Preserve tags
  • Every highlight turned into Readwise block with link to original

Dashboard

Flexible dashboard implemented via Native WordPress Dashboard

TODOs

Of course, you can manage your TODOs right in WP

How to install

This is really WIP. Please follow the repo. I will make a release once I have a stable version.
