The .kmd Format

When you save normally (Ctrl+S), Korppi uses its native .kmd format:

What's Included

  • Complete markdown content
  • Full timeline history
  • All comments and threads
  • Author metadata
  • Yjs document state

File Structure

A .kmd file is actually a ZIP archive:

document.kmd/
├── content.md      # Your markdown
├── patches.json    # Timeline data
├── comments.json   # Comments
├── meta.json       # Document metadata
└── ystate.bin      # Yjs sync state

Benefits

  • Version history travels with the file
  • Comments survive transfer
  • No external database needed
