ZenSuite · local Markdown and agent workbench

Markdown, rendered and editable.

zd is the Markdown reader and editor at the centre of a calm local workbench. Read the plan, edit it in place, leave precise feedback, and keep the agents, files, and Git work beside it.

Available for macOS and Windows · local by default

The document is the interface

Read Markdown like a document. Edit it where it sits.

01

Comment on selected text

Keep review notes beside the Markdown while zd-feedback.txt collects paths, line ranges, quotes, and requested changes.

02

Paste the screenshot

Paste a clipboard image into Markdown or plain text. zd saves it below docs/screenshots and inserts the relative link.

03

Move without losing context

Use quick shortcuts to change projects, return to a thread, switch to its file, or hide the navigation when the document needs the room.

One surface, three themes

The reading experience stays calm in every context.

Real workbench captures. Theme changes never move the project, thread, or file context.

Thread and file context

Stay with the agent and the source.

A thread remembers its project, worktree, and current file. The paired centre layout keeps terminal output beside the selected source while Files and Changes remain on the right.

Manage projects and threads

Terminal and file context together, with no second project state.

Native authority, narrowly held

Your source stays local.

Native grants constrain project and worktree access. Terminal sessions start only in an approved scope, Git operations are fixed and read-only, remote images stay blocked, and local diagnostics are opt-in.

Opinionated on purpose

Built around one daily flow.

zd is purposefully minimal and matches how I build: read the document, steer the work, leave exact feedback, and move to the next project without rebuilding context. It is my daily driver. It may not fit everyone, and it is not trying to become a universal IDE.

Read. Edit. Review. Build.

Keep the document and the work together.
