I've always been a critic of obsidian close source situation, and the lack of agents integrations. Knowledge apps need to be open source, so users can inspect how their data is being treated.

Also, in this agentic era, I felt that it was time for the natural evolutions, integrate them in a best in class multi pane experience. The app can handle markdown, html, csv, pdf, excalidraw maps, and code files (47 language support).

This one is different, because of my ethics, I built an explicit change control layer for every change AI makes. Like cursor, zed, and others. I want regular folks to experience the wonders of agentic workflows.

This is open source, Apache 2.0, and it runs on the ACP protocol. Now it includes Claude, Codex, Gemini and Kilo, and I'm actively working on expanding the list.

The app is compatible with MacOS, windows and linux, including arm compatibility.

Have fun guys, go crazy with your agents and sub agents, it was built with a lot of love and care.

Hey folks, I’ll keep it short.

I built an app for non coders to experience the magic of agentic workflows. It feels like a code editor, but it’s designed around a Markdown first knowledge vault. It's amazing for researchers, students, academics, librarians, teachers, and profesionals from all background.

Every change the AI makes to your vault goes through an explicit review layer, similar to tools like Cursor, Zed, and others. The user stays the final authority, and honestly, that felt like the only right way to build this. You can use api keys or connect directly to your inference provider subscription, currently working on expanding the list, codex, claude, gemini and kilo are available.

It’s cross-platform thanks to Electron. And before you roast me, I love native macOS apps too. But for something like this, current native frameworks just don’t make it realistic yet. I’ve worked hard to make it feel wicked fast, with the native like polish that great Electron apps can have.

It’s free because of my ethical principles, knowledge tools should be open source, so users can audit how their private information is handled.

If you like it, please consider sponsoring the project or sharing it, I'm not a huge social media guy and I spend most of my time behind the editor.

Also if you love native macos apps check out MoodistMac, is an ambient sound app I built a few months ago, also available in github.

I've been building my own IDE (like fucking everyone lol). It has inline review like cursor and others, best in class multi-pane experience and top notch git support. Also you can spawn as many agents, it was design from the ground up to handle unlimited parallel sessions.

I took some inspiration from zed (I love the design of their chat). I'm building this out of the learnings I acquired building neverwrite.app, to actually help me maintain that project.

This is unreleased, I don't even have a name for it. Testing the waters, would you use something like this? I'll release these eventually, so follow me in github if you liked it (jsgrrchg) :)

Hey guys, I open source my baby, it's a multi pane agentic markdown workspace, built like a code editor, but for markdown, with agents baked in (Claude, openai, gemini and kilo, and working on expanding the list) . It has a review changes pipeline where you can see every file that agents edit, with accept/reject for every change inline and inside a buffer. It has 47 coding languages baked in, so it's an amazing place to learn, plus pdf support, csv, images, and excalidraw maps, and also you can activate all files mode and a terminal if you want to write or prompt code.

This was made for non coders in mind, the researchers, scientist, journalist, writers, teachers, librarians, students, and professionals from all backgrounds, you guys deserve to have what we coders enjoy in coding land.

I’m a psychologist who writes code. Yes, you heard that right. I learned to code as a teenager, but life, and a lot of other interests, pulled me in different directions. Then agents brought me back to life creatively. Having a gazillion personalized agents I could treat like endlessly patient tutors, agents that never got tired of my “stupid” questions, dramatically accelerated my learning curve.I feel like a kid again, building software that makes me smile, and I hope that it makes you smile as well!

With this app, I’ve made sure to bake in everything I know about how the human brain works, so the experience feels intuitive, fluid, fun, cozy and genuinely enjoyable. And if you’re a developer, you might find a few ideas worth borrowing. The human mind struggles with context switching, especially when information disappears from view. Multipane solves this beautifully, but it needs to be done right, reducing friction and making complex work feel a lot more manageable.

Have fun, it was made with a lot of love, and because I don't really have a network in the developer world, please, consider sharing it within your circle if you like it.

I'll keep it short guys, because this is not promotion. I've been a fan of Zed since a few months ago, so much, that you guys inspired me to write an agentic markdown workspace with all of the goodies from your editor, like inline review, edited files buffer, multi-pane experience, etc... It has markdown editor, based on CodeMirror, excalidraw support, pdfs, images and CSV files. Also 47 coding language support, but not meant to code (you can do it if you want). I needed something like zed but for an obsidian like experience to study coding.

Heck, Zed brought me back to writing code after 10 years. Thank you for that, code finally clicked in my brain.

It's not gpui, im sorry, I forked Zed editor, played around, learned a lot, but still, I can't build something from the ground up with it. It's electron, but VERY well optimized, Atom like feel. You set the bar really high, I hope it lives up to it, I call it for myself sometime minized.

It has codex subagent support in the sidebar, you can open threads individually. Claude and Codex are possible because of Zed Industries ACP. Thank you for making them so reliable. Codex ACP is heavily modified for subagents support, if the team wants to grab some ideas to bring subagents to Zed ;)

Have fun and keep building!

Hey guys, I released an open source agentic multipane markdown first workspace, built like a code editor, where you can spawn as many Claude agents, Claude Code users are first class citizens, it ships with a bundled Node runtime and vendored files so there's minimal setup. It rides on the ACP runtime so you get all of the Claude goodies, thinking (for supported models only), plan updates, tool calls and status streaming live, plus slash commands like `/init`, `/review`, `/compact` and `/plan` baked in. Every file Claude touches goes through an explicit review layer, with inline accept/reject hunks. Like an IDE. It has wiki parsing, 2d/3d graph, and a blazing fast search thanks to a rust engine. I even included gems like excalidraw baked in for you to play with Claude, it does an incredible job with them.

If you try the app with your knowledge vaults, have fun, go crazy with agents, split them, move them, detach them, play around, and keep building. Multipane and review flow is the future of agentic work.

This was made for the non coders in mind, researchers, writers, journalists, academics, students, librarians, you name it. You guys deserve to have all of the goodies that we coders have in coding land, pdf support, images, excalidraw maps, rich markdown live preview, and CSV, packed with a best in class multipane experience. And for coders, it's an amazing place to learn, with 47 languages baked in across all surfaces, and if you still want to write or prompt code, there's a dedicated developers section for you guys to switch on all files mode, activate terminal tabs, line wrapping and all of that staff.

Follow for more, I have something cooking based on the same tech just for coding, because there are better editors than CodeMirror for that and without git, is useless for programming.

And if you like what I'm building drop some coins, I'll be open sourcing most lines that come out of my editor. Github is where I learned everything, and where coding clicked, all of the stack is open source and I want to give back, bringing reliable, state of the art agentic tech to the hands of the regular folks.

Have fun!

Most second brain apps stop at storage. You capture a note, tag it, link it, and hope you find it again someday. NeverWrite is built around the idea that your second brain should actually help you think, not just hold your thoughts. It's a local-first desktop app for macOS and Windows where your notes are plain Markdown files on your machine. No cloud sync, no account required, no telemetry. Your vault is yours.

The part I'm most excited about is the AI layer. NeverWrite supports agents powered by Claude, Codex, Gemini and Kilo, that work directly inside your vault. You can ask an agent to help you synthesize notes on a topic, find connections you missed, or draft a new note from your existing material. The key thing is that agents propose edits and you review them before anything changes, it has inline review hunks like modern code editors. The AI helps you process and connect your knowledge; it never rewrites your vault behind your back. That felt like the only honest way to build this.

If you've been frustrated by second brain tools that are great at capture but useless at synthesis, or by AI tools that feel like a black box you can't trust, NeverWrite is trying to solve both at once. Happy to answer any questions about how the agent review flow works or anything else.

Also, is open source ;)

Have fun with your vaults!

I've been maintaining a fork that makes this possible using existing infrastructure. Zed has a best in class multi pane experience, so why not use it for agents?

At least in my experience, it’s better than a sidebar: less clicking and easier context switching. You can try it out on the multi-tab-chat-experiment branch.

I hope Zed supports this in the future because I’m getting tired of maintaining it. Zed has been shipping commits like crazy, I’m tired boss.

Kudos on the 1.0 release! I’m super excited for the Zed team. What they’ve accomplished is incredible.
