Embeddr

Embeddr is a local-first substrate for artifacts and tools — track lineage, search across systems, and compose capabilities without locking you into a UI.

What it is

Primitives + contracts for tools, artifacts, and execution.

Artifacts

Identity, metadata, lineage, and relationships.

Capabilities

Typed actions exposed by plugins and integrations.

Distributions

Multiple shells can operate on the same substrate.

Embeddr Core

Artifact identity, lineage, embeddings, and annotations.

Lotus API

Operators, clients, scopes, and capability invocation.

Zen Shell

Embeddable frontend runtime for panels and layouts.

How it works

Embeddr focuses on stable primitives, provenance, and composability.

Store artifacts

Files and objects become typed artifacts with identity.

Attach meaning

Embeddings and annotations live alongside data.

Expose capabilities

Plugins register typed actions and execution handlers.

Choose a distribution

Multiple frontends can operate on the same substrate.

Get started

Read the docs, then pick the distribution or integration you need.

Frontend distributions

Zen is the reference distro. Sprout is a minimal template for custom shells.

Semantic + relational

Blend embeddings, annotations, and explicit relationships for retrieval.

Registries + catalogs

Discover plugins, themes, and distributions via directories.
