# Glassy

> A quiet workspace for people who think in 47 tabs, 12 notebooks, and a voice memo they forgot to label.

Glassy is an independent thinking-and-writing workspace built by and for neurodivergent people. It brings notes, documents, bookmarks, voice, and supported local AI actions into one calmer place. The product is local-first where it matters, Markdown-friendly, and explicit about not training models on user content.
