Athens Research was an open-source, collaborative 📝knowledge graph application, as its official GitHub repository describes it. The repository's README says Athens "helps teams capture and synthesize knowledge together" and that, built on a graph database, it "helps map and communicate complex knowledge in complex domains." As of November 2026, the project's GitHub README states it is no longer being actively maintained.
The repository description says the project was backed by 📝Y Combinator, in the batch it labels W21. Its LICENSE file states that the source code is distributed under the Eclipse Public License, version 1.0. Below the maintenance notice, the README keeps a set of links "for posterity": a browser demo in which "no changes are saved," a free and open-source desktop app, and documentation it marks as "not guaranteed to be up to date." For exporting data, the README points to athens-export, a tool hosted outside the Athens repository that converts pages to 📝Markdown and to a directory compatible with 📝Logseq. The README adds that athens-export "is not an officially supported project, so your mileage may vary."
