Atelier

What it does

Atelier is an open source desktop app that brings AI to the tools people actually work in every day: document editing, mail merge, receipt reading, and more coming (spreadsheets, calendar, tasks). Most AI products are a chat window bolted onto a hosted API. It runs locally, Mac and Linux, so your files never have to leave your machine to get the benefit of AI. Built with Tauri, Rust, React, and SQLite. Licensed AGPL-3.0, fully forkable, and built for people who want AI usage beyond just chat.

Talk to your files. Nothing leaves your machine.

Atelier is a free, open-source AI workspace for Mac and Linux. Open a folder, ask questions, get cited answers, and choose cloud or fully offline models. Your files and conversations never touch a server you don't control. Use cloud providers, Ollama, or Apple Foundation Models on-device. Every response links back to the exact file and passage it came from. Atelier reads and indexes your files on your machine. Nothing is uploaded. Get answers with clickable citations pointing to source files. Export any answer back as a file or use it in follow-up questions. Use your own API keys for cloud models, or run fully offline with local models. Want early access to the web beta? Support us on Buy…from open-atelier.app

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
