09 Product questions
Glowstone, plainly explained.
Direct answers about storage, compatibility, supported agents, and the current release.
What is Glowstone?
Glowstone is a local AI workspace for Mac. It gives the AI agents you already use durable project context by organizing your work as portable Markdown files and connecting related projects, people, decisions, and documents in a knowledge graph.
Where does Glowstone store my knowledge?
Glowstone keeps workspace knowledge as normal Markdown files in folders you control on your Mac. The files remain readable in Glowstone, Obsidian, and standard text editors, so your knowledge is not locked inside a proprietary chat history.
Which AI agents work with Glowstone?
Glowstone is designed to work with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other tools already configured on your Mac. The exact data handled by an agent depends on the agent and provider you choose.
Does Glowstone work with Obsidian?
Yes. Glowstone uses plain Markdown files and wiki-style links, so the same workspace can be opened with Obsidian or another Markdown-compatible editor.
Which operating systems are supported?
The current public build supports macOS and is distributed as a universal Mac download. Windows support is planned but is not available yet.
Can Glowstone transcribe my meetings?
Yes, and it separates who spoke: your side is captured from the microphone and the other side from what your Mac is playing, so no bot has to join the call. Transcription runs locally on your Mac and the transcript is saved as a Markdown note your agent can work through. Recording other people is regulated in many places, so tell them first.
Does dictation work outside Glowstone?
Yes. Hold a key, talk, and the text is typed into whatever app you are using. The speech model runs on your Mac and works with no connection. It also reads the names in your workspace, so people, companies and places you actually work with are spelled correctly instead of guessed by sound.
What are routines?
Scheduled conversations your agent starts by itself: a morning plan, a Friday review, a nudge before a meeting. You describe them in plain language and the agent writes the schedule into a file in your workspace. They only run while Glowstone is open, and when a routine has nothing to report it stays quiet.
Where can I get help?
For installation or product support, email hello@glowstone.ai. Include your macOS version and Glowstone version when reporting a technical issue, but do not send private workspace files unless support explicitly requests a safe, redacted example.
