AI word processor for Mac that uses only open source local AI models

[ittaboba]

Hi everyone,

I write essays on my blog and I built a word processor called Manzoni focused on minimalism and privacy. These have been proven valuable elements for writers over the years but I haven’t seen anything entirely built on these principles from the LLMs wave yet.

Think of Jan, LM Studio, GPT4All, etc., but instead of a chat interface, a word processor with inline local AI.

Key features:

• Clean UI to feel calm and focused while writing (in dark and light modes!)
• Inline prompt bar for brainstorming ideas and get unstuck without losing flow
• Inline edits to check grammar and polish text
• Prompt templates to start the writing process without staring at the blank page

Everything is powered by local AI models. 100% offline. No accounts. No tracking. No data leaves your device.

I would be happy to hear more of your feedback ❤️

Thank you!
