Sync Your Library to a Local Folder


You can now sync your Heuristica library to a local folder on your computer. This keeps a local copy of your study notes, prompts, and other content as markdown files that stay in sync with your library. With your content available locally, you can process it using local AI agents and tools for even more powerful workflows. You can also import and export your content as zip files for backup or transfer.
