Bring Your Own AI (100% Local or Cloud)\n\nConnect any provider without vendor lock-in or middleman servers:\n\n-\n**Local & Offline:** Direct integration with **Ollama** so your data never touches the internet.\n-\n**Cloud API Support:** Works with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Groq, Mistral AI, OpenRouter, Together AI, and Cerebras.\n\nYour API keys stay stored locally, and requests go straight from your machine to the provider. **Zero telemetry, zero cloud accounts.**\n\n###\n2. Native Inline AI Editing\n\nForget 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.\n\n###\n3. Safety Net: Reversible Edits & Auto Backups\n\nAI modifications shouldn't destroy your hard work:\n\n-\n**Instant Revert:** Press `Ctrl + Z`\n\nto instantly undo any AI rewrite and restore your exact document state.\n-\n**Automatic Snapshots:** MoilStack .md automatically creates a local snapshot before every AI action, keeping the last 10 versions per file in a local backup directory.\n\n###\n4. Focused Desktop Experience\n\n-\n**Minimalist UI:** Clean writing view with toggle preview and right-click formatting — no clunky toolbars taking up screen space.\n-\n**Local Workspaces:** Open any local folder as a workspace to create, rename, and edit `.md`\n\nfiles directly.\n-\n**One-Click PDF Export:** Export your drafts into clean, beautifully formatted PDFs with standard margins and readable typography.\n-\n**Multi-Instance:** Double-click any file in your file explorer or open multiple side-by-side windows independently.\n\n##\n🛠️ Tech Stack & Availability\n\nMoilStack .md is open source under the **MIT License**.\n\n-\n**Stack:** Electron, Modern Web Technologies\n-\n**Platforms:** Windows (`.exe`\n\n/ Microsoft Store) & Linux (`.deb`\n\n/ `AppImage`\n\n) *(macOS coming soon)*\n\n##\n🚀 Check It Out\n\nI'd love to hear your thoughts!
