About Foam

Foam is a free, open-source note-taking and personal knowledge-management tool that runs as an extension on top of Visual Studio Code and GitHub. It turns Markdown files into a linked, wiki-style knowledge graph with backlinks, tags, and graph visualization. It is aimed at developers and researchers who want a local-first, Git-backed alternative to Roam or Obsidian.
