Welcome to Glifaro

A local-first writing workspace with multi-file project management, private AI, and a calm editor you can make your own.

Core Features

Private by default

Your writing lives on your device first. Drafts, notes, research, and project files stay local unless you explicitly enable cloud storage. If you do choose cloud sync, Glifaro stores your workspace with encryption, so convenience never becomes a privacy tradeoff.

A real writing workspace

Manage many files at once in a VS Code-style workspace. Open notes in tabs, split the editor to compare two documents side by side, move between drafts without spawning extra windows, and create database-backed writing spaces directly when you want structure without choosing a folder first.

Local agent for sensitive work

Some documents should never be uploaded to a remote AI service. Glifaro's built-in local agent can read private files on your machine, extract context, compare notes, and help you write from that material while keeping the work where it belongs.

Beautiful focus, no setup tax

Glifaro gives you a polished writing atmosphere from the first launch. Focus Mode clears away the interface when you type, while the editor stays simple enough to begin immediately. No plugin maze, no configuration ceremony, just writing.

Designed around your taste

Shape the editor to match the way you think. Adjust typography, spacing, writing behavior, focus preferences, and workspace details until Glifaro feels less like generic software and more like your own writing instrument.

Rich Markdown

Type in plain text and see it become a finished document in place:

• Tables with column alignment, row/column insert, and resize
• Code blocks with syntax highlighting for 30+ languages
• Math formulas rendered via KaTeX (inline & display)
• Mermaid diagrams for flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and Gantt charts
• Blockquotes, task lists, footnotes, and image embeds

Local Agent Workflow

Ask Glifaro to read a private workspace and turn scattered material into structure:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Glifaro local agent: private files stay on your device."""

from pathlib import Path

workspace = Path("~/writing/product-research").expanduser()
private_notes = glifaro.agent.read(workspace, local=True)

brief = glifaro.agent.write(
    context=private_notes,
    goal="Turn these scattered notes into a clear product brief."
)

print(brief.outline)

Why Local-First?

Your writing is yours alone. Glifaro is built for people who want modern AI assistance without giving up control of their material. Local is the default. Cloud is optional. Privacy is not a mode you have to remember to turn on.

Use Glifaro like a refined Markdown editor, a database-backed knowledge workspace, or a private AI writing environment. It stays approachable like a simple editor, but scales into a serious workspace when your writing does.
