LOCAL-FIRST · AI-NATIVE · MARKDOWN

The AI-first workspace
for your Markdown.

Capture by voice, write with built-in AI, and publish in one click — all in a local, plain-text vault. Then hand that same vault to Claude, Codex, or any MCP tool as a memory they can trust.

01 · CAPTURE ON MOBILE

A thought, spoken.
A note, filed.

Forge Buddy turns speech into transcribed Markdown the moment you stop talking — dropped straight into the right folder of your vault, synced to your desktop before you've put your phone away.

02 · THE MEMORY LAYER

Your notes, safely readable by any agent.

Forge exposes your vault through the Model Context Protocol. Agents read and write plain Markdown files on your machine — nothing leaves, nothing is locked in, and you decide exactly what each tool can touch.

Files live on your disk. No cloud round-trip, no vendor lock-in.
Scoped access
Grant each agent read or write on the exact folders you choose.
Just Markdown
Portable plain-text you can open in any editor, forever.
03 · THE DESKTOP EDITOR

Not a note dump.
A proper editor.

Backlinks, outlines, folders and tabs — the desktop app is a full knowledge workspace. Everything you capture lands somewhere you can actually think in.

Coffee Rituals

A short essay collection about the small routines people build around a daily cup — see [[widget-concept]] for the companion app idea.

The morning pour

Grind, bloom, pour — the three-minute window that quietly sets the tone for the whole day.

04 · AI IN THE EDITOR

Write with AI, right in the note.

The MCP server lets external agents work with your vault. Inside the editor, AI works with you — slash commands for instant actions, and a contextual island that appears the moment you select text.

THE AI ISLAND
Grind, bloom, pour. The three-minute window that sets the tone for the whole day.

Three minutes — grind, bloom, pour — that quietly set the day's rhythm.
