Local-first markdown writing app with an AI partner

Plume.

Plume is a local-first markdown editor with an AI writing partner that lives next to the text — not in a chat tab on another site.

Write once. Then export a version that actually fits the place you're publishing: newsletter, blog, docs, whatever the next surface is. The draft stays on your machine.

Why it exists

Most writing tools want the document in their cloud and the model in their box. I wanted the opposite: files I can grep, an editor that doesn't vanish if a tab crashes, and an assistant that can see the piece without uploading my whole life.

What it does

• Markdown in a real editor (CodeMirror 6)
• An AI partner scoped to the current document
• Export paths tailored to the platforms I actually publish on
• Local-first — drafts don't leave the disk unless you say so

How it's built

Tauri v2, Rust, TypeScript, CodeMirror 6. Desktop app. Source is on GitHub.
