flowrite is a desktop markdown editor built for working with AI agents.
Core trick
Implements the Agent Client Protocol so any compatible CLI agent edits markdown in place and stores its comments as W3C annotations in frontmatter.
Description
flowrite is a desktop markdown editor built for working with AI agents. It connects to any agent that supports the Agent Client Protocol — Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini CLI, or custom agents — and lets them collaborate with you directly inside the editor.
Today, using AI agents with documents is a disjointed experience. You write in one app, switch to a terminal to prompt an agent, copy its output, paste it back, and manually review the changes. Context gets lost, your flow breaks, and the overhead of managing the back-and-forth often outweighs the help.
flowrite eliminates that friction. Agents can read your files, chat with you in a side panel, leave inline comments on specific passages, and make edits in place. You can review their suggestions, reply to their comments, and resolve feedback — all without leaving the editor. Comments are persisted as standard W3C annotations in the document's frontmatter, so they survive across sessions and tools.
