Local first
Every note is written to SQLite on your own disk. Closing the laptop lid is not a network event.

Notes that stay on your machine.
Markdown and Excalidraw in one place, stored locally and searchable instantly. Works fully offline with no account. Sync between devices is there when you want it, and off until you do.
Markdown and drawings
Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams render inline, and any note can be an Excalidraw canvas instead.
Search that keeps up
Full-text search with typo tolerance, fast enough to run on every keystroke of a large collection.
History you can undo
Notes snapshot themselves as you write, so a bad edit from yesterday is still recoverable.
Optional sync
Sign in only if you want your notes on more than one machine. Nothing leaves the device until you do.
Updates in place
The desktop app checks for new versions from Settings and installs them itself, verifying each one before it runs.
