Bring Your Own AI (100% Local or Cloud) </h3> <p>Connect any provider without vendor lock-in or middleman servers:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Local &amp; Offline:</strong> Direct integration with <strong>Ollama</strong> so your data never touches the internet.</li> <li> <strong>Cloud API Support:</strong> Works with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Groq, Mistral AI, OpenRouter, Together AI, and Cerebras.</li> </ul> <p>Your API keys stay stored locally, and requests go straight from your machine to the provider. <strong>Zero telemetry, zero cloud accounts.</strong></p> <h3> 2. Native Inline AI Editing </h3> <p>Forget copying and pasting between a chatbot window and your file. Highlight any section and ask the AI to rewrite, shorten, expand, or explain it. Edits stream directly into your document.</p> <h3> 3. Safety Net: Reversible Edits &amp; Auto Backups </h3> <p>AI modifications shouldn't destroy your hard work:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Instant Revert:</strong> Press <code>Ctrl + Z</code> to instantly undo any AI rewrite and restore your exact document state.</li> <li> <strong>Automatic Snapshots:</strong> MoilStack .md automatically creates a local snapshot before every AI action, keeping the last 10 versions per file in a local backup directory.</li> </ul> <h3> 4. Focused Desktop Experience </h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Minimalist UI:</strong> Clean writing view with toggle preview and right-click formatting — no clunky toolbars taking up screen space.</li> <li> <strong>Local Workspaces:</strong> Open any local folder as a workspace to create, rename, and edit <code>.md</code> files directly.</li> <li> <strong>One-Click PDF Export:</strong> Export your drafts into clean, beautifully formatted PDFs with standard margins and readable typography.</li> <li> <strong>Multi-Instance:</strong> Double-click any file in your file explorer or open multiple side-by-side windows independently.</li> </ul> <h2> 🛠️ Tech Stack &amp; Availability </h2> <p>MoilStack .md is open source under the <strong>MIT License</strong>.</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Stack:</strong> Electron, Modern Web Technologies</li> <li> <strong>Platforms:</strong> Windows (<code>.exe</code> / Microsoft Store) &amp; Linux (<code>.deb</code> / <code>AppImage</code>) <em>(macOS coming soon)</em> </li> </ul> <h2> 🚀 Check It Out </h2> <ul> <li>🌐 <strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://moilstack.com/moilstack-md" rel="noopener noreferrer">moilstack.com/moilstack-md</a> </li> <li>🐙 <strong>GitHub:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/moilstack/moilstack-md" rel="noopener noreferrer">github.com/moilstack/moilstack-md</a> </li> <li>🛒 <strong>Microsoft Store:</strong> Available for Windows</li> </ul> <p>I'd love to hear your thoughts!
