Open-source tools, built on the side, shared with everyone.
Cognisn is an independent software project focused on building practical, open-source tools for developers. The name draws from cognition — the process of understanding through thought and experience — and reflects how every project here is approached: think deeply, build practically, share openly.
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| Spark | A secure, multi-provider AI research platform with MCP tool support, persistent semantic memory, and autonomous scheduled actions. |
| Konfig | Layered settings management, pluggable secrets backends, and structured logging for Python applications. |
Most projects here are built with Python and lean towards clean, well-tested code with a focus on security and reliability.
