nTilia

nTilia is an offline-first Markdown workspace for field missions. It is built for journalists, researchers, NGO workers, and freelancers who capture notes, audio, and photos where the network disappears — then refine and publish when they are back online. What it is nTilia is not a meeting bot or a generic AI chat wrapped around a blank page. It is a field notebook with open Markdown files, missions as folders, optional on-device encryption, and AI that proposes edits you must approve. Capture works offline. Sync waits for Wi-Fi and an unlocked vault — not a locked pocket. Who it is for • Journalists and reporters on assignment (interviews, checkpoints, unreliable connectivity) • Researchers who need citable field notes, abstracts, co-authors/ORCID, and optional Zenodo DOI • NGOs and mission teams that keep trip notes, photos, and audio in one exportable folder • Independents who want a bilingual FR/EN public journal without locking notes in a proprietary format Core workflow 1. Capture on the spot — dictate offline, attach photos, group the trip into a Mission (name, place, timezone). Notes, audio, photos, place, and GPS stay in that mission folder and auto-save locally. 2. Transcribe on device — Whisper can run on the phone so interview audio need not leave the device for transcription. 3. Refine online — type / in the editor for spelling, translation, voice match, tones, sources, FAQ, or a background brief of the place (geography, risks, history, society — for the writer, Pro+). Every AI change shows Before / After; nothing applies until you accept. 4. Publish or export — publish a public journal (with version history), keep notes device-only, or export a mission ZIP (notes, audio, metadata) on this device. “Prepare to leave” runs sync + ZIP before you lose the network. Privacy and control By default, notes stay on the device. Notes marked “device” never sync. With the vault on, notes, takes, and missions are encrypted locally. When signed in, private sync runs only when nTilia is open, the vault unlocked, and a network is present. The file format is open Markdown: import .md, leave with a ZIP whenever you want. Research and citation Articles can include abstract, co-authors with ORCID, footnotes, and math. Cite blocks cover APA, BibTeX, RIS, JATS, and more. From Pro, deposit a preprint PDF + Markdown source on Zenodo (CERN) and get a DOI back into the article. Built so Google Scholar and Zotero can pick it up. Travel Mode (Pro) For sensitive assignments: create an off-body copy for a safe recipient (newsroom/desk), then clear sensitive material from the device. Distinct from “Prepare to leave” (which keeps a ZIP on the phone). Pricing snapshot Free to start in the browser (no credit card). Free plan includes weekly AI credits. Pro and Pro+ unlock deeper field, research, and AI features (on-device Whisper, Travel Mode, Zenodo, background brief, and more — see ntilia.com for current plans). Origin nTilia is a product of SamionX (Belgium). It was shaped by real field constraints and supports the work of the AWAKEN DESTINY foundation. Name note: in Ewondo (Cameroon), “Ntil” relates to the writer — nTilia keeps that field root while speaking to an international audience. Website: https://ntilia.com
