Order

your notes, at home, at last

Source available · v2026.8.7

A local-first notes app. A plain folder of markdown files is the whole app: notes, calendar, chat, finance, and publishing all read and write the same Obsidian-compatible vault. Built on Tauri v2, so one codebase ships desktop and iOS. Read the intro: A Calendar-First Notebook for Mapping Your World.

What it does

Foundation

  • Plain markdown with minimal YAML frontmatter. No database, no lock-in.
  • The filesystem is the source of truth. Reads any Obsidian vault.
  • Johnny Decimal folder numbering for a stable, sortable structure.
  • Notable Folders: a folder with a main document and a stream of notes.
  • Runs on macOS and iOS from a single Tauri v2 codebase.

Writing

  • WYSIWYG markdown editor, with a raw source view when you want it.
  • Wikilinks with autocomplete, plus backlinks.
  • Spreadsheets and sketches as first-class notes.
  • Images, PDFs, and saved web pages render inline.
  • Full-text search across the vault.
  • Pinned notes and folder covers via simple filename markers.

Calendar

  • An event's date and time live in its file name, not hidden metadata.
  • Day, week, month, year, and season views.
  • The Frontier: quick captures land on the calendar as an inbox to file.
  • Quick add captures a dated note or image at the nearest half hour.
  • Drag, resize, move to another day, or bulk select to move and delete.
  • Import from Google Calendar and Apple Calendar.

Chat and voice

  • An in-app AI agent that reads and writes your vault, one chat per file.
  • Use Anthropic, OpenAI, Grok, or a local model (Ollama, LM Studio).
  • Hands-free voice with barge-in, working even while the phone is locked.

Time and reminders

  • System reminders on iOS and macOS, with an urgent option.
  • App badge counts what is still waiting on the Frontier this week.
  • Read notes aloud with on-device or cloud voices.

Finance

  • Link bank accounts through Plaid.
  • Generate transaction reports into a Notable Folder.
  • Optionally create a calendar event per purchase.

Publishing

  • Publish selected notes to a static site with stable permalinks.
  • The vault stays canonical; the site is a copy pushed from it.

Look and control

  • Light and dark, plus themed skins (terminal, WordPerfect, LCARS).
  • Keyboard-driven, with a command palette and adjustable text size.
  • Sidebar filters by type: notes, chats, HTML, images.
