Software for people who think
We're building an alternative to apps that fragment your thinking across a dozen cloud services. Epicenter is for people who read deeply, write to think, and build to understand.
Every tool is open source. Your data stays in plain files you control. Choose your own models, host your own services, or run everything locally.
