Draftlet

Local-first writing assistant.

Draftlet captures conversations, generates drafts through local LLM providers (Ollama first), keeps durable local memory, and lets you review everything in a focused desktop writing surface without sending your data to a cloud service.

Status

Draftlet is in active development.

Current working scope:

• Telegram - local MTProto user-client auth, incoming capture, draft generation, and explicit send.
• Gmail - Chrome extension selection capture into the local runtime, rendered in the Email workspace for drafting.
• Desktop - Electron app with Messages, Email, Connectors, Settings, Search, and local runtime status surfaces.
• Runtime - local FastAPI service with SQLite persistence, capture ingest, connector management, search, and local generation through Ollama.

Development
