01 — THE SOURCE OF TRUTH

Your files are not
raw material for an AI rewrite.

AutoFolio preserves pasted text and imported bytes exactly as they arrived. Titles, summaries, tags, facts, relationships, and versions live in a separate internal layer—useful, replaceable, and never confused with the source.

02 — INFORMATION FLOW

Capture once.
Find, inspect, and ask later.

01

Capture without ceremony

Paste text or import documents, spreadsheets, email, and calendars. Exact source bytes remain intact.

02

Organize separately

Rules and optional AI create validated metadata, while SHA-256 snapshots and version history protect the record.

03

Search on this Mac

SQLite FTS5 handles fast multilingual search, saved views, filters, facts, dates, and relationship review.

04

Ask with evidence

Answers link each claim to exact passages, pages, paragraphs, spreadsheet ranges, messages, or events.

03 — GROUNDED ANSWERS

An answer is only useful
if you can inspect why.

AutoFolio marks supported claims, unresolved conflicts, and statements without linked evidence separately. Every citation opens the original at the precise location.

04 — TWO CLEAR LAYERS

Originals stay ordinary.
Intelligence stays reversible.

YOUR LIBRARYOriginal filesTXT · PDF · DOCX · XLSX · EML · ICS

Readable in Finder. Never decorated with generated front matter or hidden edits.

.AUTOFOLIOInternal knowledge layerINDEX · FACTS · LINKS · VERSIONS · EVIDENCE

Inspectable metadata and immutable snapshots that can be rebuilt without changing the source.

05 — LOCAL BY DEFAULT

AI is optional. Your information is not.

AI OFF

Save, deduplicate, classify, version, search, extract facts, and answer clear date questions without a model.

WORKS
REMOTE

Source content leaves the Mac only after explicit approval for that model connection.

OPT-IN
SECRETS

Passwords, tokens, and private keys are blocked from model and vector requests.

BLOCKED
VAULT

High-value credentials live separately in macOS Keychain, outside the searchable library.

KEYCHAIN
06 — WORKING DEPTH

A calm workspace for messy personal information.

01

Read and edit in place

Text, DOCX, and XLSX can be edited with immutable history; PDFs, email, and calendar files open in focused readers.

02

Resolve changing facts

Compare conflicting evidence, choose the current value, record why, and reopen the decision when a new source version arrives.

03

Choose the intelligence

Use Ollama locally or connect OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Gemini, and compatible providers for optional enrichment.

07 — BUILD

PythonFastAPISQLite FTS5PyWebViewKeychain

A local web and macOS desktop application combining ordinary files, an immutable object store, full-text search, document readers, provider adapters, and evidence-level navigation.
