Shopper questions

Where are my documents stored?

Documents are stored as ordinary .md files in the folder you opened. Grasmere keeps nothing in a database, allowing you to edit documents in any other app, sync them, or keep them in git.

Can I keep my documents in iCloud Drive or Dropbox?

Yes. Grasmere can open folders from iCloud Drive or Dropbox. If you're editing a document when a sync service changes it, Grasmere asks which version to keep rather than overwriting either.

Are my documents sent to an AI?

Not unless you choose. Ask Your Documents and Generate Summary use Apple's on-device model by default, so nothing leaves your Mac. If you choose Claude or ChatGPT with your own API key, then relevant excerpts are sent to that company.

What are the system requirements?

Grasmere requires macOS 26 or later. Ask Your Documents and Generate Summary on the on-device model also need a Mac with Apple Intelligence turned on; Claude and ChatGPT work on any Mac with your own API key.
