Writing Experience

No distractions, just your thoughts. Toggle Zen Mode to focus on a single line, or use our split-pane workspace to build complex knowledge webs without leaving the keyboard.

Syntax & Shortcuts

Beyond what any text editor offers. Cycle workflow statuses with clickable #tags, auto-sum budgets with a Total: line, evaluate expressions inline with calc(), and insert or edit any date with a single shortcode or click.

Visual Tables

Visual Tables

A powerful visual table editor is just a double-click away. Effortlessly add or remove rows and columns, adjust alignment, and sort data with smart type detection for numbers, dates, and strings—all while maintaining perfectly formatted Markdown under the hood.

True Content Privacy

Your writing belongs to you. No central database, no proprietary formats, and no "AI training" on your private notes. Everything is stored in human-readable Markdown on your own machine.

· No Cloud · No Servers · No Tracking ·
