Practical overview

When it fits

Use it for document-grounded research and reporting when you want to draft, analyse or compare materials and inspect the supporting source pages from within a desktop workflow.

Who it is for

  • People researching or writing from collections of local documents.
  • Users who need to inspect spreadsheet figures or compare multiple documents.
  • People who want meeting notes connected to a file-based research workspace.

Documented uses

  • Ask questions across documents and follow page citations to source passages.
  • Draft notes and reports, then check sentences and figures against source material.
  • Analyse spreadsheet data and trace inputs for calculated figures.
  • Compare multiple documents in a cited table and export writing to Word.
  • Capture meeting notes with citations to what was said.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The app is described as free and open source under Apache-2.0, with no IncarnaMind account needed. Releases are listed for macOS on Apple silicon (M1 or later), Windows and Linux. Test builds are unsigned; Linux AppImage users may need additional setup.

  • The checking feature compares writing with the user's files; errors already present in those files can pass through.
  • The project says Ollama use works fully offline, while ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are also supported model options.
  • The listed macOS build supports Apple silicon M1 or later; Intel Macs are not supported.
  • Linux packages include .deb for Ubuntu and Debian or AppImage, with documented FUSE prerequisites for some Ubuntu versions.
  • Word export can preserve untouched document sections and add edits as tracked changes; notes can also be exported with footnotes in eight citation styles.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
