Notes

Your second brain,
in Markdown.

A file-first notes app built on plain .md files in a folder you own. Wiki-links connect every idea, properties give each note shape, and version history holds the receipts.

One canvas, every input

Everything in one place.
Write where your research lives.

Notes hold the work. Markdown text, file attachments, structured properties, and version history — no plugins required.

Rich markdown

Headings, lists, code, quotes, tables — written as plain .md you can open anywhere.

Files inline

Drop images, PDFs, audio, and video into any note. Stored beside the markdown.

Version history

Auto-snapshots on save, plus manual checkpoints. Side-by-side diff to undo anything.

Portable forever

Export any note to PDF or markdown. Or just open the .md file in any editor.

The writing surface

A writer's editor.
Stays out of the way.

Slash commands for everything you need, a bubble menu when you need formatting, and keyboard shortcuts for the rest.

Slash commands

Type / for anything.

Pull blocks, links, callouts, and code from a single menu.

Bubble menu

Highlight any text to get a context-aware toolbar — link, bold, italic, headings.

memrynote connects every idea with wiki-links and backlinks so your thoughts never live alone.

Blocks

Tables, code, callouts.

Everything you need in a long-form note — without leaving the editor.

Connect every idea.
Grow a graph as you write.

Wiki-links suggest themselves while you type. Backlinks show every reference with context. Tags color-code the connective tissue.

Wiki-link suggestions

Type [[. memrynote finishes the thought.

Autocomplete matches titles, aliases, and tags. Hit enter — the connection sticks, no matter if you rename later.

Structure your thinking.

From a loose paragraph to a fully-indexed reading list — the same notes scale with you.

First-class table editing with sortable headers and cell-level formatting.

Formula columns

Compute values from other properties — sums, counts, dates, rollups.

Code blocks

Syntax-highlighted fences for the language you actually write in.

Quotes & callouts

Pull a passage, mark a footnote, or stamp a callout without leaving the keyboard.

Inline checkboxes that surface as real tasks in the Tasks view — same source of truth.

One workspace

Works with the rest of memrynote.

Notes don't live in a silo. They connect to your inbox, your journal, and your tasks — same vault, same shortcuts.

From Inbox

Capture anything anywhere — file it into a note with a click. Source link preserved.

In Journal

Daily entries link back to the notes you reference. Today wires into yesterday.

With Tasks

Inline checkboxes become real tasks. Click through to the source note any time.

Use cases

Built for thinkers.

Writers

Long drafts, character sheets, research threads — all linked, all in plain markdown.

Researchers

Quote-grab from the web, structure findings with properties, then publish locally.

Builders

Spec docs, ADRs, runbooks. Folder views give you a database without leaving markdown.

Lifelong learners

A zettelkasten that grows with you. Backlinks reveal the patterns you keep returning to.

Wait — there's more.

Pin a visual identifier to every note.
