shtukbase

Your workspace, in files you own.

Pages, tables and boards on your Mac — and AI colleagues who read and edit them with you. Every page is a plain text file in a folder you choose.

The launch plan for a range of notebooks, open in Shtukbase: a soft green cover, a note to lead with the paper, and the week before the launch evening as a checklist

Write in blocks. Headings, checklists, callouts, pictures and covers.

Every page is a file you can open anywhere.

Shtukbase keeps your work as markdown: plain text, with a few lines on top for the title, the icon and the properties. A table or a board is a folder of such files. Open them in any text editor, copy them, back them up — they never need us to be read.

  • In a folder you choose. Your workspace lives on your Mac, where you put it.
  • With its own history. Changes go into the folder’s git history, so an earlier version is always within reach.
  • Without an account. Nothing to sign up for, and no server of ours in between.

The launch plan as the app draws it, and the same page as the plain text file it is kept in: its title, icon and cover on top, then the note, the heading and the checklist as ordinary markdown.

Colleagues who work in your pages.

Five colleagues come with the app, each with a face, a way of working and a memory of its own. Ask one to draft, plan, research or tidy up, and the work lands where it belongs: in your pages, tables and boards. Make your own, too, and call it by name.

  • They do the work, not just the talk. A colleague reads your pages, edits them, and shows the steps it took.
  • You set how far they go. Let a colleague only read, or edit inside your folder; anything wider, it asks about first.
  • Your choice of model. Built on DeepSeek Harness: use your own key with the provider you prefer, or run a model on your Mac.
A conversation: asked to draft two notes into the press kit, the colleague reports that both drafts are in place and that nothing has been sent
