Baalda for enterprise
Company knowledge on infrastructure you control, readable by your own AI.
Self-host the sync backend, keep every note as a plain file, and give each department its own vault with its own access. Your internal assistants connect over MCP and see only what they are allowed to.
What a enterprise vault can look like.
A vault is a folder of plain markdown files. Shape it however you work. This is one way to start, and the week below is what a few days in it could look like.
- Engineering
- Runbooks
- Incident response.md
- Architecture decisions
- Sales
- Objection handling.md
- People (restricted)
- Policies
- Security policy.md
- Mon
IT runs the sync backend on the company's own servers.
- Tue
Engineering and Sales each get their own vault, permissioned on its own.
- Wed
The internal assistant answers from the runbooks over MCP.
- Thu
People files stay restricted, down to the individual note.
- Fri
A bad bulk edit is reverted from a checkpoint, for every member at once.
How it works
Three things companies do in Baalda
Run it where your data lives
The core is Apache-2.0, backend included. Deploy the sync server yourself and point the app at it. Notes stay as .md files on each person's disk.
One vault per department
Separate vaults for each team or business unit, each with its own members, folders and tags. Structure that still holds when the org doubles.
Undo at the scale of the whole vault
Checkpoints capture every note and the folder structure together. One is taken each day the vault changes, and a revert is broadcast to every member live.
Self-host with no limits under Apache-2.0, or run on the managed Team plan. Talk to us about rollout and support.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can we self-host Baalda?
Yes. The core, including the sync backend, is open source under Apache-2.0. The deployment guide in the repository covers running the backend yourself and pointing the app at it.
Where are our notes stored?
Every note is a plain .md file in a folder on each member's own disk, kept in step through the sync backend. There is no proprietary block format to export from.
Can access be limited inside one vault?
Yes. Viewer and Editor access is set per folder and per file, and AI assistants connected over MCP are held to the same permissions.
