Epicenter

Epicenter operates by consolidating all your work—notes, transcripts, and chat histories—into a single local folder. This local-first architecture allows various tools to read and write to the same plain text and SQLite files, ensuring seamless integration without cloud lock-in.

Epicenter is built using Rust and Svelte 5, focusing on performance optimization. It employs CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) for efficient data synchronization and utilizes plain text files and SQLite databases to ensure user ownership and control over data.

Epicenter features a local-first architecture, integration with existing tools like Obsidian and VS Code, and uses plain text and SQLite for data management. It allows for fast transcription, version control with Git, and seamless access to data across various applications.

Epicenter allows users to choose their AI models, including options like OpenAI and Anthropic. Users can run these models locally or connect via their own API keys, ensuring flexibility and control over AI integration.
