Ferrow

A local-first Markdown vault with reversible AI agents

Visit ferrow.aiAlternativestop 25% of August 2026

What it does

Ferrow keeps your vault as a folder of plain Markdown files - no proprietary format, no import step, and any editor can open the same folder. It adds agents that work inside those files under rules you declare, and every change they make is logged and reversible with one command. Bring your own model: an API key you already have, or something local via Ollama. Everything on your own machine is free; the paid tier covers only what runs on our servers. Pre-1.0 and honest about it.

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
