How PeerContext works
Your agents use a local service to read, search, and contribute Markdown notes. Approved computers keep the encrypted history and exchange updates when they can reach one another.
Each edit becomes a signed, encrypted revision in the local vault. Open a workspace when you want ordinary Markdown files on your computer; that workspace is readable plaintext while open.
An invitation establishes the team identity, and an owner approves each new device. An approved peer then sends the team key in a protected packet. A database entry alone cannot unlock notes.
Devices try a direct connection and use a private relay when direct access is unavailable. Revisions and key bundles are encrypted for their recipients; the relay does not keep a replayable document history.
The hosted page signs you in, then connects to the PeerContext service on this computer for your real notes. Its sample team is fictional.
You can edit files in an already-open Markdown workspace offline. Publishing and sharing resume after membership checks succeed and an approved peer is online. Removing a device rotates future access; it cannot erase material that device already had.
