Cabinet is an AI-first startup operating system and knowledge base that stores all data as local Markdown files, ensuring no vendor lock-in. It allows users to build and run autonomous AI teams that have full access to their persistent knowledge base to perform research, content creation, and scheduled tasks.

Recent versions (v0.4.x-v0.5.0) introduced isolated rooms, an integrations catalog, Telegram remote control, Apple Notes/Notion imports, an in-app browser, and unified scheduling/editor upgrades.

As of

  • Self-hosted AI agent orchestration with scheduled cron-based jobs
  • File-based system where all knowledge is stored as local Markdown, PDF, and CSV files
  • Git-backed version history with automatic commits and diff viewing
  • Bring-your-own-AI (BYOAI) architecture supporting Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, and local models
  • Built-in web terminal and support for embedded HTML/JavaScript applications
✓ Best For

Founders, developers, and small teams seeking a self-hosted, private, and portable alternative to SaaS tools like Notion or Obsidian, particularly for automating repetitive business workflows.

✗ Not Ideal For

Users who want a plug-and-play, maintenance-free SaaS experience, as self-hosting requires managing local environments and configuring personal API credentials for AI models.

Freemium

The core self-hosted product is free and open-source. Optional paid managed hosting (Cabinet Cloud) starts at $20/month for Pro and $49/month for Max, with separate enterprise tiers available. Users must provide their own AI provider API keys (e.g., Claude, OpenAI), or they can purchase AI access through Cabinet starting at $10/month.

Cabinet is an ambitious, powerful 'startup OS' that prioritizes data sovereignty and agent-driven automation. It is an excellent choice for technical users who want to treat their knowledge base as code, though it demands more operational overhead than traditional SaaS knowledge management tools.
