Local-First Research Workstation
Your Data Sovereignty. Your Academic Privacy.
InkCop's SQLite + ObjectBox + local vector database multi-DB architecture stores all unpublished papers and private knowledge bases entirely on your device. We never collect your academic work. Local LLM support enables offline-capable operation — in extreme cases, fully offline when you handle PDF/image text extraction manually.
Local Multi-Database Architecture
SQLite / SQLCipher Conversation history, settings, citation records. AES-256 encryption supported.
ObjectBox + HNSW Document chunk storage and millisecond nearest-neighbor search (local RAG).
Kuzu Graph DB Entity relationship network with multi-hop queries and cross-paper reasoning.
llama.cpp Run Qwen / Llama and other open-source models completely offline.
What Needs Network? What's Fully Local?
Requires Network
- Calling cloud LLMs (OpenAI / Claude / Gemini etc.)
- PDF/Word to text conversion when using cloud OCR
- PubMed / arXiv literature search and download
- Citation verification (tracing PubMed/CrossRef etc.)
Fully Local, No Network
- Knowledge base semantic search (vector + graph)
- Document editing, Track Changes, snapshots
- Local LLM inference (Llama / Qwen etc., after download)
- All data storage: documents, chat history, citations
- Workflow execution (without external API nodes)
Core Features
Designed for data security and high-performance local inference
Local Vector DB (ObjectBox+HNSW)
ObjectBox high-performance object database with HNSW vector indexing delivers millisecond semantic search. All data stored locally.
Local LLM Support
Built-in llama.cpp service to run Qwen, Llama and other open-source models locally. Zero network for fully offline operation.
Encrypted Workspaces
Each workspace maps to an isolated local directory. Supports SQLCipher AES-256 encryption and encrypted archive export.
Multi-Workspace Management
Multiple independent workspaces for different research projects, with complete data isolation between projects.
Workflow Engine
n8n/Dify-like visual workflow builder. Automate repetitive processes — format conversion, batch summarization, periodic archiving.
MCP Tool Extension
Load third-party MCP tools to extend with external professional capabilities. Can be extended into a team collaboration backend.
