Good questions.
The essentials, before you open your first document.
Is kepodo a reader or a chat app?
It brings both together. You read your Markdown in one pane and discuss the document or a selected passage alongside it. Notes have their own context for a separate conversation.
Can I use it without AI?
Yes. You can open documents, read, and collect notes without connecting a model. Questions, visual explanations, and suggested edits require an AI connection.
Which files can I open?
Markdown (.md, .markdown, .mdown) and TXT files up to 2 MB. You can also paste text from your clipboard. PDF and Word import are not supported.
Do I need a separate AI subscription?
kepodo uses the connection you choose: a ChatGPT account, a provider API key, or an installed agent. Access to models, usage limits, and any charges depend on that provider and your account.
Does the document stay on my computer?
Document snapshots and notes are stored locally. When you use AI, context is sent to your selected provider or agent. Its own data policies apply to those requests.
Can AI change the original file?
It can propose a replacement for a section. You review the suggestion and choose whether to save a revised copy. The original file is not overwritten automatically.
How can I install the app?
The current setup uses the source repository and requires Node.js 22.19 or later plus npm. Repository access is required; there is no public installer linked on this page.
