You’re the Writer. Always. Your words are your intellectual property—Amber just gives you the tools to bring them to life. AI is optional assistance, never a replacement for your voice. No pressure, no auto-write features, no distractions from what matters: your story.
File-First Approach: Amber stores everything as plain text Markdown (.md) and JSON files—not in a proprietary database. Your writing is future-proof, portable, and fully owned by you. Edit files in VS Code, iA Writer, Notion, or any text editor. Your data outlives any application. Learn more about privacy →
