* fix: prevent chat bar model selector from overflowing in narrow panel * fix: contain chat bar left items so code pill clips instead of overflowing * fix: compact icon-only mode for chat bar when panel is narrow * fix: dynamic compact threshold based on visible toolbar items * fix: use actual DOM overflow detection to eliminate toolbar overlap * fix: progressive right-to-left icon collapse for chat toolbar * fix: instant icon switch, remove search label transition * fix: correct right-to-left collapse order (code→perm→search→workDir) * fix: measure actual DOM overflow instead of estimating — eliminates half-text and disappearing icons * refactor: replace JS overflow logic with CSS container queries Drop the ResizeObserver/useLayoutEffect collapse machinery and the estimated pixel thresholds in favor of declarative @container variants. Each toolbar item swaps to icon-only at a fixed container-width breakpoint (code 560, perm 460, search 410, workDir 370px), collapsing right-to-left. Atomic swaps mean no half-clipped text and no disappearing buttons. * fix: move @container to card root so breakpoints track panel width Putting container-type on the toolbar's own flex row made it stop stretching to fill the card and hug its collapsed content instead, so the query read a permanently-narrow width that never grew on widen. The card root reliably spans the full panel width. * fix: collapse toolbar by measuring real overflow, not fixed breakpoints Fixed container-query breakpoints can't know the workdir name length or model name width, so labels stayed full and overflowed into the model selector. Replace with overflow measurement: a ResizeObserver resets to full on any width/content change, then a pre-paint layout effect collapses items right-to-left (code -> perm -> search -> workdir) until the row fits. overflow-hidden on the group is a hard guarantee against any overlap. * feat: overflow menu for toolbar items that don't fit even as icons When the bar is too narrow to show every control as an icon, the right-most items move into a '...' overflow dropdown (code -> perm -> search -> workdir) instead of being clipped, so no icon is ever hidden. Toggle items keep the menu open on click via onSelect preventDefault. * fix: keep overflow menu open when toggling items inside it Toggling an in-menu item (code mode, agent, search, perm) updated state that was in the collapse-reset deps, resetting collapseLevel to 0 and unmounting the '...' trigger mid-interaction. Drop the in-place toggles from the reset deps so the menu stays open on click. * fix: drop 'Options' label from toolbar overflow menu --------- Co-authored-by: arkml <6592213+arkml@users.noreply.github.com> |

Rowboat
Open-source AI coworker that turns work into a knowledge graph and acts on it
Rowboat connects to your email and meeting notes, builds a long-lived knowledge graph, and uses that context to help you get work done - privately, on your machine.
You can do things like:
Build me a deck about our next quarter roadmap→ generates a PDF using context from your knowledge graphPrep me for my meeting with Alex→ pulls past decisions, open questions, and relevant threads into a crisp brief (or a voice note)- Track a person, company or topic through live notes
- Visualize, edit, and update your knowledge graph anytime (it’s just Markdown)
- Record voice memos that automatically capture and update key takeaways in the graph

Demo
Installation
Download latest for Mac/Windows/Linux: Download
All release files: https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat/releases/latest
Google setup
To connect Google services (Gmail, Calendar, and Drive), follow Google setup.
Voice input
To enable voice input and voice notes (optional), add a Deepgram API key in ~/.rowboat/config/deepgram.json
Voice output
To enable voice output (optional), add an ElevenLabs API key in ~/.rowboat/config/elevenlabs.json
Web search
To use Exa research search (optional), add the Exa API key in ~/.rowboat/config/exa-search.json
External tools
To enable external tools (optional), you can add any MCP server or use Composio tools by adding an API key in ~/.rowboat/config/composio.json
All API key files use the same format:
{
"apiKey": "<key>"
}
What it does
Rowboat is a local-first AI coworker that can:
- Remember the important context you don’t want to re-explain (people, projects, decisions, commitments)
- Understand what’s relevant right now (before a meeting, while replying to an email, when writing a doc)
- Help you act by drafting, summarizing, planning, and producing real artifacts (briefs, emails, docs, PDF slides)
Under the hood, Rowboat maintains an Obsidian-compatible vault of plain Markdown notes with backlinks — a transparent “working memory” you can inspect and edit.
Integrations
Rowboat builds memory from the work you already do, including:
- Gmail (email)
- Google Calendar
- Rowboat meeting notes or Fireflies
It also contains a library of product integrations through Composio.dev
How it’s different
Most AI tools reconstruct context on demand by searching transcripts or documents.
Rowboat maintains long-lived knowledge instead:
- context accumulates over time
- relationships are explicit and inspectable
- notes are editable by you, not hidden inside a model
- everything lives on your machine as plain Markdown
The result is memory that compounds, rather than retrieval that starts cold every time.
What you can do with it
- Meeting prep from prior decisions, threads, and open questions
- Email drafting grounded in history and commitments
- Docs & decks generated from your ongoing context (including PDF slides)
- Follow-ups: capture decisions, action items, and owners so nothing gets dropped
- On-your-machine help: create files, summarize into notes, and run workflows using local tools (with explicit, reviewable actions)
Live notes
Live notes are notes that stay updated automatically. You can create one by typing '@rowboat' on a note.
- Track a competitor or market topic across X, Reddit, and the news
- Monitor a person, project, or deal across web or your communications
- Keep a running summary of any subject you care about
Everything is written back into your local Markdown vault. You control what runs and when.
Bring your own model
Rowboat works with the model setup you prefer:
- Local models via Ollama or LM Studio
- Hosted models (bring your own API key/provider)
- Swap models anytime — your data stays in your local Markdown vault
Extend Rowboat with tools (MCP)
Rowboat can connect to external tools and services via Model Context Protocol (MCP). That means you can plug in (for example) search, databases, CRMs, support tools, and automations - or your own internal tools.
Examples: Exa (web search), Twitter/X, ElevenLabs (voice), Slack, Linear/Jira, GitHub, and more.
Local-first by design
- All data is stored locally as plain Markdown
- No proprietary formats or hosted lock-in
- You can inspect, edit, back up, or delete everything at any time
