NeverWrite combines local notes and documents with an AI knowledge base that asks before making changes.
About NeverWrite
NeverWrite is a knowledge workspace for small teams that stores notes and documents as plaintext Markdown in a folder on the user's computer. Users can connect AI models with their own keys to draft, restructure, and research across those notes.
Every AI edit is shown as a pending change that must be accepted, rejected, or refined before it is written to the vault. The site states no cloud vault, no account, and no telemetry, with AI used only when content is attached or a session is started with a chosen provider.
