Cleve and Obsidian both help you build a second brain, but they are built for different workflows. Here is how to choose between a private local-first vault and an AI-native collaborative markdown workspace.

Cleve is still a fantastic content tool. The difference is that the memory system behind it has grown into something bigger: a knowledge base where your ideas, notes, docs, and AI agents can work from the same context.

Different AI models are good at different things. Here's why we built Cleve to give you access to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and more—all in one workspace.

The desktop experience you've been waiting for. Cleve 2.1 brings a powerful new editor with drag-and-drop context, multi-panel layouts, and AI that truly understands your voice.

Everything you need to know to start creating authentic content with Cleve. From your first idea to publishing your first post - a complete walkthrough.
