Celorga

Celorga is a local-first workspace for running AI agents and managing notes using plain-text Org files.

Celorga is an open-source workspace for running AI agents on your notes, tasks, meetings, and data. Everything is stored as ordinary .org files you own, and the apps, editors, CLI, and agents read them through a shared runtime. The software includes a native Mac app, an iPhone app, a headless server for always-on agents, an independent Org parser, a CLI, an MCP server, a language server, and plugins for VS Code and Vim or Neovim. It is designed for individuals who want to manage life, work, and AI agents locally without an Emacs dependency. Celorga was formerly called OpenOrg and Org2.
