Feature 01
Open in under a second. Every time.
No server round-trip. No spinner. A database with 10,000 files opens instantly and search results appear as you type — whether you're online or not.
Local-first knowledge database
Features for high-volume, high-context knowledge work
See the core capabilities teams use first to centralize notes, files, and project context in one local workspace.
Use your real files to validate speed, structure, and search quality.
Feature 02
Keep context from falling apart
Write a note, attach a PDF, link to a related project. When you come back a month later, everything is still connected — not scattered across apps you barely remember opening.
Feature 03
Back up with tools you already have
Your database is one file on disk. Time Machine, Dropbox, iCloud, WebDAV — any backup you trust today works immediately. No new service, no new subscription.
Feature 04
Client work and personal ideas stay yours
Turn on encryption and your files, notes, and metadata are protected by your passphrase — unreadable by anyone without it, including us.
Feature 05
Change your mind later without losing your work
Import from DEVONthink, Obsidian, or Notion. Export to open formats at any point. Your knowledge survives every tool decision you make in the future.
Feature 06
Let the repetitive work run itself
Smart Rules file and tag new documents automatically. Watch Folders process incoming files without touching them. You set it up once and reclaim the time every week.
Migration
Switch to Ordobase with a controlled migration path
Move from your current tool in phases so you keep momentum and reduce migration risk.
Run a small pilot first, then expand once your structure is stable.
Step 1
Import one real workspace
Import a real folder from Notion, Obsidian, or DEVONthink. Keep your source structure and verify results immediately.
Step 2
Organize by context, not by app
Link notes, files, tags, and project metadata in one view so decisions stay findable instead of buried in app silos.
Step 3
Keep optionality from day one
Keep everything portable with open exports. If priorities change later, your system is still yours to move.
Try every feature for 14 days. If you stop paying later, existing data remains readable and exportable through the free read-only mode.

Test Ordobase on real work before committing
Do not evaluate Ordobase with an empty demo. Download the Free Trial, create one database, add real fields, import a few real files, and see whether retrieval feels different.
