Make it yours

Your Jevie files

Shape Jevie by editing plain files: how it talks, your rules, what it knows about you, your lists and hotkeys, every change kept and reversible.

• check my filesEach file read back, problems named by line

How it works

One folder holds what you might want to change, as markdown: how Jevie talks, your standing rules, what you told it, what it learned, and your lists. Edit a file and Jevie follows within a second; say a change and the file updates. Every change is saved in the folder's own history, so nothing is lost, and a line Jevie cannot read never costs you the rest.

An agent working for you can read every file and change your lists, but never how Jevie talks, your rules or your approvals.

Limits

• API keys are never kept here: they live in the Keychain (keys).
• Automations and triggers are changed by saying so, not as files.
• The folder's history stays on your Mac and is never pushed anywhere.

Where it's kept
