Live Markdown.

Write in plain text and see it come to life as you type. No flipping between modes, no messing with formats. Just write.

Mermaid Diagrams.

Drop a code block with the mermaid language tag and watch your diagrams render live. Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts. All inside your notes. Pop out to full screen to zoom, pan, and export as PNG.

Folders & Tags.

Organize your notes however you like. Deep folder hierarchies if you want structure, flexible tags if you prefer to let things breathe. Everything stays easy to find.

Instant Search.

Type and find any note in a heartbeat. Powered by Rust, it respects your privacy. Your data never leaves your machine.

Keyboard First.

Every action has a shortcut. Navigate, search, format, and manage your notes without leaving the keyboard. The command palette puts everything at your fingertips.

Ambient Sounds.

Rain, white noise, people sounds. Mix them together, dial in each volume, toggle everything from the status bar. A little background texture when you need it.

"A tool should be invisible. It should get out of the way and let the work speak."
