A good mental model

Section titled “A good mental model”

Worktray is a private workbench built from ordinary files:

  • files are the source of truth
  • extensions select editors instead of storing hidden file types
  • trays hold the working context for one problem
  • your content stays local unless you explicitly export or send it somewhere
