Built on your local Obsidian vault · Local-first · Your files stay yours

A thinking scaffold without the AI slop
Hand-drawn diagrams & architecture

aitower wakes up the notes sleeping in your Obsidian vault. AI helps you brainstorm, argue and expand them into deep long-form writing; the studio board draws hand-crafted diagrams that drop straight into your draft.

Two core modules

Writing and illustrating, in one window

Notes · Long-form writing hub

CodeMirror 6 dual-mode editing, wired straight into your Obsidian vault. Live Preview, Wikilink completion, drag-to-place images, native .canvas and Excalidraw support.

## Counter-intuitive architecture decisions

The cost of stability hides in[[idempotency]].

When the retry storm hits…

Embedded AI Agent panel

Aware of the current article, selected notes or board elements. Brainstorming, cross-note hybrid reasoning, structured expansion — streamed like a typewriter.

Studio · Infinite design board

Deeply customized on Excalidraw. Hand-drawn material drawer, architecture components, sticky tapes and scene templates — illustrations are your logic made visible, not greasy AI art.

One-click insert

The board exports a crisp PNG/SVG into your vault assets folder and stamps the Markdown reference at your cursor. One second, no app-switching.

Through the backlink graph

Search and retrieval cut through [[backlinks]] and .canvas structures — concepts, references and board assets cross-correlated.

Local-first, asset-respecting

Reads and writes your vault directly. Deletes go to the system trash — no hidden intermediate database mutating your files. Your notes stay yours.

Concurrent sessions, no cross-talk

Background sessions stream silently; jump in any time to pick up the flow. Ask AI while writing, drive the Agent on the board — never interfering.

The illustration loop

From idea to figure in three steps

01

Summon

While writing, hit "illustrate this section" or ask the side-panel Agent — the studio board activates with a draft in place.

02

Design

Hand-drawn components and templates, drag and drop. AI can draft flowcharts, sequence diagrams and architecture scenes directly.

03

Insert

Export a crisp PNG/SVG into your vault assets folder; the Markdown reference lands exactly at your cursor.

Why "human-crafted hybrid"

AI is not an assembly-line ghostwriter,
but a conversational thinking scaffold.

In an era flooded with AI slop and plastic-looking fake imagery, content carrying the author's real thinking and taste is the highest-order asset. You keep the pen; the diagram is your logic made visible.
