Anasa

Anasa is the creation layer of the Kumbatio ecosystem: a local-first Markdown writing and thinking workspace designed to accommodate variable cognitive load.

The problem it addresses

Writing and thinking tools assume you arrive with focus. Dense interfaces, infinite options, and blank-page pressure all cost cognitive energy before you've written a word. On a low-capacity day, most knowledge workspaces are unusable - not because the features are bad, but because the tool assumes a brain at 100.

Anasa is built for the full range: a workspace that's rich when you have capacity and quiet when you don't.

What exists today

Anasa is a desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) built on energy-system. The alpha ships:

• Local-first Markdown vaults - your notes are plain files on your machine, with writing, connected notes, tasks, and daily notes on top.
• An energy-aware interface. The whole shell adapts to your reported energy level: the energy battery is a first-class control, AI surfaces scale down as energy drops (full above 50, minimal at 25, gone at 0), notifications are filtered by level, and task suggestions respect a complexity ceiling.
• End-to-end encrypted vault sync - two-way whole-vault sync with a key derived on-device; conflicts are preserved as copies, never silently merged.
• Optional AI, local options included - AI assistance is opt-in, with local models supported alongside cloud providers.

Anasa is also where the energy model gets tested against real use: it records energy readings over time on-device and derives hour-of-day and day-of-week patterns, so the app can suggest a level with a stated confidence instead of guessing. The integration patterns it proved out are documented in the SDK's production patterns guide.

Where it sits in the ecosystem

Anasa covers the thinking and making moment. MPath covers coordinating work, and Nami covers support when executive function is low.
