Standalone vs Connected Mode

Terso works in two modes: standalone (offline, no account) and connected (synced with Omnus).

Standalone mode

No Omnus account needed. Free, open-source, works offline.

terso init
terso capture "switched auth to Supabase"
terso compile

What works:

  • Local capture to .terso/local/captures.jsonl
  • Offline compilation into structured Markdown
  • Secret scanning (regex-based, runs locally)
  • File output to .terso/generated/

What's missing:

  • No LLM-powered classification
  • No cross-project search
  • No portfolio monitoring
  • No state consolidation

Connected mode

Link to an Omnus account for the full pipeline.

terso auth set <your-api-token>
terso sync

What's added:

  • LLM classification (Gemini Flash + Claude Sonnet)
  • Cross-project knowledge search
  • Shared operational knowledge
  • Nightly state consolidation
  • Review queue for uncertain items
  • Portfolio health monitoring

Configuration

Check connection status:

terso doctor
