What is Epicenter?
Epicenter is an ecosystem of open-source, local-first apps. Our eventual goal is to store all of your data—notes, transcripts, chat histories—in a single folder of plain text and SQLite. Every tool we build shares this memory. It's open, tweakable, and yours. Grep it, open it in Obsidian, host it wherever you like. The choice is yours.
Current Tools
🎙️ WhisperingPress shortcut → speak → get text. Desktop transcription that cuts out the middleman. Bring your own API key. |
🤖 epicenter.shA local-first assistant you can chat with. It lives in your folder, becoming the access point to everything you've ever written, thought, or built. |
Where We're Headed
Our vision is to build a personal workspace where you own your data, choose your models, and replace siloed apps with open, interoperable alternatives. All while preserving authenticity and being free and open source.

If you're passionate about open source, local-first software, or are just a cracked Svelte/TypeScript developer—we'd love to build with you.
If you think like a generalist, build like a hacker, and value tools that respect your mind:
