{"slug": "prisment-local-first-doc-workspace-markdown-openapi-mermaid", "title": "Prisment – Local-first doc workspace (Markdown, OpenAPI, Mermaid)", "summary": "Prisment launched as a free, local-first document workspace that positions itself as a verification layer between human intent and AI-generated software, letting users open an entire project folder and review AI-drafted plans, APIs and diagrams without an account. Prisment reads and renders Markdown, OpenAPI specs and Mermaid diagrams locally in browser memory, writes edits back to the same files, and carries team review comments through Git or synced cloud folders such as OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox rather than a server. The tool mounts folders directly in its desktop app and Chromium browsers, while Safari and Firefox users import folders into a browser-local copy, and it exports approved work as an HTML document, linked documentation site or PDF.", "body_md": "Prisment is a free, local-first workspace — the verification layer between human intent and AI-generated software. Open your whole project folder, review what your AI drafted, decide what gets built and plan the work. No account, and your files stay on your device. Use it alone with your AI agent. Share only when you want to.\n\nAI writes code faster than teams can validate architectural intent. When the plan is unclear, each new prompt can pull the build in a different direction. Review the draft design and architecture, set the boundaries, and record your decisions in the files. Settle the solution and the timeline in Plans and Notes. Then give your AI tool the agreed plan to write code with pinpoint accuracy.\n\nYour vision guides the work. Your decisions shape accurate code.\n\nAgreed Plan\n\nScope & APIs defined\n\nBoundaries locked\n\nArchitecture reviewed\n\nTimeline set\n\nExact Spec\n\nAI Coding Agent\n\nAccurate\n\n```\n// Implemented strictly to agreed plan\n```\n\nSee an example project folder\n\nAn example project: the documents behind the decisions\n\ndocs/\n\n01-product/ — vision, scope, users\n\n02-architecture/ — systems, APIs, data\n\n03-design/ — screens, flows, diagrams\n\n04-planning/ — phases, costs, roadmap\n\nAGENTS.md — tells your agent where the decisions live\n\nYour folder can look different. What matters is keeping the agreed requirements and design where your agent can read them.\n\nYOUR WHOLE PROJECT FOLDER\n\nOpen your entire project folder in one step\n\nChoose the folder your AI agent writes to and every document, API spec, diagram and picture inside it opens in one workspace, with a file tree, working links between files and changes shown as they are saved. Prisment reads the folder where it is, on your own computer, and your files stay there.\n\nOpen it where it is\n\nIn the desktop app, Chrome, Edge or another Chromium browser, pick the folder once and Prisment mounts it. Your edits are written back to the same files.\n\nSafari and Firefox too\n\nUse Import Folder in the Files sidebar to bring a folder’s supported files into a browser workspace. They are copied into this browser on your device, never to a server.\n\nStays in step with your agent\n\nWhen your agent saves a file in the folder, Prisment picks up the change, so you review each draft as it lands.\n\nReview with your team. Carried by Git or your trusted cloud.\n\nComment on a passage, decide each point and approve the exact versions you read. The review is saved as files in your project folder, so Git or your team’s synced cloud (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox) carries it through local folder sync — no server, no account, no share link.\n\nComment on the page\n\nSelect words in a rendered document, table or diagram. Suggest a change, flag an issue or mark it reviewed. Only the person who started the review decides and approves.\n\nGit or your trusted cloud\n\nCommit and push through Git, or keep the project in a local folder synced by OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox. Colleagues open the folder in Prisment and reply — carried by the storage your team already trusts.\n\nGitHubOneDriveGoogle DriveDropbox\n\nCommit without leaving\n\nIn the desktop app, Source Control stages, commits, pushes, pulls and clones with your own git. In a browser it reads the repository without changing it.\n\nEverything above works for one person and their AI agent, and sharing is your choice. When you want to show the work to a client, investor or team, give them a clear version: one interactive document, a linked documentation site or a PDF for the meeting.\n\nGive the team a plan they can use.\n\nShare the decisions with the files behind them. Export a readable HTML document, a linked documentation site, or a PDF when the conversation needs a handout.\n\nPrisment reads and renders your documents locally. No document upload or account is needed. You choose the files to open, the folders to connect and what to share.\n\nLocal document processing\n\nMarkdown parsing, diagram rendering, and themes run locally in browser memory.\n\nYour approved storage\n\nOpen a local folder in the desktop app or browser. Sync reviews and plans via your company’s existing GitHub, OneDrive, or Google Drive through local folder sync — with zero new cloud silos.\n\nGitHubOneDriveGoogle DriveDropbox\n\nYou control sharing\n\nDocuments stay local until you choose to export or share them.\n\nOpen a whole project folder in the desktop app or a Chromium browser, or start with a single document in any browser.
