Syncpen runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 69 installs a week from npm. Last commit 24 Aug 2026.
The markdown workspace your AI can read, search, and suggest edits in — every change signed.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Syncpen every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
