Welcome to Project N.O.M.A.D.

Your personal offline knowledge server is ready to use.

What is N.O.M.A.D.?

N.O.M.A.D. stands for Node for Offline Media, Archives, and Data. It's your personal server for accessing knowledge, education, and AI assistance — even when you have no internet connection.

Think of it as having Wikipedia, Khan Academy, an AI assistant, and offline maps all in one place, running on hardware you control.

What Can You Do?

Browse Offline Knowledge

Access millions of Wikipedia articles, medical references, how-to guides, and ebooks — all stored locally on your server. No internet required.

Learn Something New

Khan Academy courses covering math, science, economics, and more. Complete with videos and exercises, all available offline.

Open Kolibri →

Chat with AI

Ask questions, get explanations, brainstorm ideas, or get help with writing. Your local AI assistant works completely offline.

Keeping Your Server Updated

N.O.M.A.D. works best when kept up to date while you have internet access. This ensures you have the latest:

  • Software features and bug fixes
  • Wikipedia and reference content
  • Educational materials
  • AI model improvements

When you go offline, you'll have everything you need — the last synced versions of all your content.
