ひきだし — a drawer; to draw out
A drawer for every thought — and a way to draw it out.
Semantic search for large, multilingual Obsidian vaults. Runs on your machine. Your notes never leave it.
Join the waitlistOne email when early access opens. Nothing else.
Born from tidying. In a tidy home, everything has its place — so nothing is ever really lost.
hikidashi applies the same practice to your vault: every note has a drawer, and the right one opens
when you reach for it. From the maker of katazuke,
a family of PKM tools drawn from years of tidying practice.
Works out of the box
No API keys, no configuration maze. Local models, sensible defaults, first useful result before your coffee cools.
Shows its reasoning
Not a bare similarity score. hikidashi is designed to tell you why a note is related — and to stay stable while you edit.
Yours. No lock-in
One-time license with optional yearly updates — no subscription. Fully local, and your other tools keep working.
Status: in daily use by its maker on a large Japanese/English vault. Early access is being prepared —
the waitlist is the only queue.
