Overview

note.md is a local-first markdown research workspace designed specifically for macOS users who value privacy and control over their data. Instead of relying on cloud servers, all your notes and research materials are stored directly on your device, ensuring your information remains secure and accessible even without an internet connection. The tool provides a clean, distraction-free environment for organizing thoughts, drafting documents, and managing research projects using simple markdown syntax. It's ideal for academics, writers, and knowledge workers who need a reliable, fast, and flexible system for capturing and connecting ideas while maintaining full ownership of their files.

How to Use

Create or open markdown files directly in the macOS workspace. Write and edit with live preview, organize notes in a local folder structure, and use backlinks to connect related ideas. All data stays on your device for privacy and speed.
