Is Epicenter right for you?
A good fit for
Developers and knowledge workers who want local-first, file-backed tools instead of cloud-locked note or agent apps.
Before you choose
Epicenter is self-hosted open source; the site does not sell a managed cloud workspace plan with public monthly pricing.
Shared local memory
