Epicenter

Epicenter builds local-first, open-source applications designed to amplify human agency by keeping user data in plain text files and SQLite databases on the user's machine.

About Epicenter

Epicenter is an ecosystem of open-source, local-first apps that share a memory. We store all your work—notes, transcripts, chat histories—in a single folder of plain text and SQLite. Every tool we build shares this memory: your text editor, personal assistant, etc.. It's open, tweakable, and yours. Grep it, open it in Obsidian, host it wherever you like. The choice is yours.

Our vision is to build a personal workspace where you own your data, choose your own AI models, and replace siloed apps with open, interoperable alternatives. All while preserving authenticity and being free and open source. ❤️
