No account required. Markpane works with local folders and does not upload your Markdown documents.

Markpane CLI

Bring your smart views and frontmatter queries to the terminal, so coding agents like Claude Code and Codex can pull workspace context on demand. Query frontmatter, search document bodies (accent-insensitive), lint a taxonomy, follow references, and assemble Agent Briefs — all local, no upload, no hosted AI. The CLI reads the workspaces you already registered in the app.

Install with Homebrew

brew tap seba-rb/markpane
brew trust seba-rb/markpane
brew install markpane

Homebrew asks you to trust third-party taps once before installing from them.

Direct download

Notarized zip. Unzip and move markpane into a folder on your PATH.

markpane-cli-0.10.1.zip

Requires macOS 14+ and the Markpane app. The CLI never uploads anything; it reads local files and only writes when you create a view.
