Sinter / Free, open-source community tools
Meeting notes, funding research and unfinished jobs can get lost when the committee changes. Sinter helps P&Cs, clubs and volunteer teams keep track and hand the work over.
Optional setup and training: A$110/hour including GST, billed for actual minutes. We agree a maximum in writing.
Keep the work on this device, then export a backup or handover for the next volunteer. No account needed. ChatGPT sign-in and operating-system integrations require the installed app. Speech needs a separate source setup.
What the next committee needs to know.
“The equipment quote has not been received.” [4]
“No person has accepted the actions.” [4]
Still to decide
Who will check the current funding guidance?
This illustration uses fictional source excerpts. Open Sinter above to try the app, or read the originals below.
Practical workflows
Use your organisation’s documents, notes and correspondence.
An organisation profile. A funding question.
Keep useful leads and the funder’s requirements together, so the next person can pick up the search.
Saved searches run while Sinter is open. Keep unconfirmed requirements on your list; a search that finds nothing does not mean funding has closed.
Notes. A transcript. The decisions so far.
Turn the notes into a briefing, agenda, draft minutes or action register. Keep the original wording close when you review it.
Check who said what and review the minutes before using them. Optional local speech needs a separate source installation.
Old replies. Policies. Work in progress.
Bring the old replies, policies and work in progress into one casebook. Find the passages the next volunteer needs.
Keep backups and revisions, and check what the review covers. Ask the people involved to fill in the gaps.
Open Getting started and choose Open garden handover. Work through four fictional sources, prepare a handover, then save and export your own copy. No model or account needed.
Prepare enquiries, newsletters, consultation questions and event plans; record actions, owners and confirmed dates. Export CSV, JSON or calendars.
Compare changed lines between versions; line endings and the final newline are ignored.
Import an RKC atlas or compile selected text with RKC for cited context. Larger reviews retain checkpoints and coverage.
Fictional example / Sources you can inspect
A garden project needs an equipment quote, a funding check and a handover for the next committee.
This is an illustrative preview, not a running Sinter app. Browse the four original sources and the two example records. Every organisation, programme, person, source URL and commitment is fictional. example.invalid is a placeholder, not funding research.

This particular example was checked against the frozen Sinter 0.5.4rc1 source candidate on Linux x86-64 with Python 3.12.3. It is not a final customer installer, a customer acceptance receipt or a qualification for other platforms.
The Linux x64 0.5.4rc3 preview includes a manual import walkthrough: restore the casebook backup, import the campaign backup and save each separately. Imports into the older 0.5.3 preview remain unqualified. Check your chosen workflow on your computer; local records and backups are unencrypted.

Fictional practice note only. No real person, school, funding offer or commitment is represented. The guideline-checking action has no assigned owner. The earlier action table says Fictional treasurer; this owner type and acceptance remain unconfirmed. A volunteer coordinator is only a suggested role. No person has accepted the actions. The equipment quote has not been received. The 9 October 2026 date is a proposed practice target, not a confirmed deadline or grant closing date. Applicant conditions, current application window and supported costs have not been checked. An older eligibility excerpt records https://example.invalid/garden/earlier, checked 12 September 2026. The current fictional source register records https://example.invalid/garden/current, checked 30 September 2026. This mismatch is deliberate: preserve the earlier wording and review it before reuse. No website was opened or verified. Earlier-round answers, dates and actions are historical practice records. That round is recorded closed. No application or enquiry was sent. Keep those records for reference without using them as current work.Download original source 4
The NeuroForge connection
Use AI when it helps. Keep the original passages close so you can check what it writes.
How ERAIS fits togetherLocal tools organise your sources. Optional drafts send approved context to your configured API (NeuroForge by default); the selected model determines the backend.
Casebooks show exact passages and coverage. A wording match is not an answer or exhaustive review. Preview excerpts before optional drafting and check the result against the originals. Model wording remains unverified even with valid references. Sinter never submits a grant, sends an official letter or approves minutes automatically.
Free community preview
The Linux x64 download is a 0.5.4rc3 preview, qualified on Ubuntu 22.04 / glibc 2.35 only. Other platforms have 0.5.3 previews with older clients. No stable release.
Choose Windows, macOS or Linux. Check your processor in system information; each link names its preview version.
0.5.3 preview · not qualified for 0.5.4rc3
0.5.4rc3: x64 on Ubuntu 22.04 / glibc 2.35 only. Other processors: 0.5.3 preview.
The Linux x64 0.5.4rc3 .deb applications menu opens a smaller native source workspace; full native editing remains unqualified. To open the full browser workspace, use the Linux first-run instructions.
Community preview: not publisher-signed or notarised. Your operating system or organisation may block installation. Do not disable security protections.
Installation and first-run helpReleases and checksumsThe Linux x64 0.5.4rc3 preview includes the fictional garden example. For other platforms, follow the instructions with the 0.5.3 release.
Choose one download above, then follow its instructions:
/opt/neuroforge/sinter/Sinter app --mode browsertar -xzf Sinter-0.5.4rc3-linux-x64.tar.gz
./Sinter/Sinter app --mode browserKeep the extracted Sinter folder together.Once Sinter opens, choose Overview → Open garden handover or Open garden campaign. Try the fictional example before bringing real work.
Python is bundled. Local examples need no account, API key or model download. Save and use Quit Sinter to stop the browser app; closing the tab leaves it running.
Buffered native NeuroForge API text is supported; general assistant quality remains unqualified. Installers do not update themselves. See what changed.

Choose light/dark appearance, larger text, layout and reduced motion. Save casebooks and export backups or handovers for another computer; this release does not provide a shared cloud workspace.
Local tools stay on your computer. Search sends your query; models receive approved context. Storage and exports are unencrypted. Watches run while Sinter is open; temporary jobs do not survive restart. Retained results can be recovered after a browser connection drops.
Speech needs a separate source setup; mixed-room speakers are not automatically identified. Read the speech guide.
Sinter is an Apache-2.0 application using public interfaces. It does not contain proprietary ERAIS or Fracture implementation code or model weights. Local source tools work without a model; optional model-assisted drafts are unverified and require review.
API use does not prove every operation uses native ERAIS; a dense response is not a Fracture conversion result. Try Story Lab for native from-scratch generation, or the demos for the different execution paths.
RKC supplies cited atlases without a model. Sinter drafts do not change canonical atlas evidence or qualify an RKC model provider.
The public API is a capacity-limited preview. Check client compatibility before connecting; other providers may charge.
Optional setup and training
Choose one job you want to make easier: funding notes, tracking actions or a meeting handover. We’ll check your computer and show you a relevant example. Then we’ll set it up with approved sources, practise using and updating it with you, and leave you with a usable handover and backup.
Sinter itself remains free. The fee covers the agreed setup and training. Setup and training is A$110/hour including GST, charged for actual minutes with no one-hour minimum. We agree the work and a maximum fee in writing before starting. There’s no mandatory care subscription. Any provider connection and its costs are agreed separately.
