Core features

• Document management: create, edit, organize, export/import
• AI agents with tool access: multi-step workflows that can call tools to help complete tasks
• Reusable macros & prompts: quick actions, templates, and selection sending
• Semantic / hybrid search (embeddings): faster "find by meaning," not just keywords
• Revision history & diffs: inspect changes over time
• Mobile + desktop friendly

Privacy / Data

Your documents and API key are stored locally on your device. When you use AI features (including agents, tools, and embeddings), the app sends relevant text/context and request payloads to the OpenAI API for processing; we don't store your content on our servers.

• Node.js
