How we build

Local-first

Your notes are markdown files on your machine. No cloud required.

Privacy by design

AI runs on your Mac. Cloud sync and folder sharing are optional.

Open source

Every line of code is auditable. MIT licensed.

Fast and simple

Keyboard-driven capture with fewer steps between a thought and a saved note.
