Muesli vs Ramble

Muesli is a free, real-time collaborative Markdown editor for teams and AI agents working in the same plain .md file. Collaborators can see live cursors and presence, discuss material in comment threads, submit tracked suggestions, and use append-only history with snapshots. Editing tools include inline preview, a source toggle, KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, editable tables and callouts, wikilinks, and backlinks. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and Gemini CLI can work through MCP or edit the file directly. When a human is present in a document, agent edits become suggestions for review. Guest links can grant viewer, commenter, or editor access without requiring accounts. Storage choices include local files, S3-compatible services, GitHub, Gitea, Forgejo, and Google Drive. Muesli is available on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and as a self-hosted service, and is open source under AGPL-3.0. Self-hosting uses one Docker image, but durable documents and history require Postgres and Redis. The hosted service says document contents remain in user-chosen storage and are not read, mined, or used for training.

Ramble is a web-based collaborative Markdown editor with real-time team editing and an optional AI assistant. The editor shows Markdown source beside a rendered preview and supports formatting shortcuts, paste-to-Markdown conversion, find and replace, and Markdown export. Multiple people can edit together with live cursors, automatic saving, and merged changes after reconnecting. Already-open drafts can be edited offline with browser-local recovery, but loading Ramble or opening new pages needs a network connection. The assistant can answer draft questions, suggest edits for review, or create drafts from conversation. Workspaces support owner, editor, and viewer roles, plus read-only and revocable links. The Open plan costs nothing, but new accounts and invitations are currently closed.
