Offline-first

No internet required, ever

Your data, your device

SQLite stored locally

Starts in < 1 second

Built with Rust + Tauri

No renewals, ever

Pay once, own forever

Everything you need. Nothing you're renting.

Most of this is in the free version — forever. Core editing, notebooks, full-text search, and 11 themes, all with no account and no time limit. Pro adds the power-user layer for a one-time $9.99.

Native Performance

Written in Rust, built on Tauri. Starts in under a second. Uses 50MB of RAM. Performance no subscription can replicate.

Markdown Editor

Write in Markdown with live preview, syntax highlighting, tables, and task lists. Feels like VS Code. Works for everything.

Notebooks & Tags

Nested notebooks, color-coded tags, unlimited notes — stored in SQLite on your machine. Never in a database you’re renting access to.

Full-Text Search

Sub-100ms full-text search across everything you’ve ever written. No cloud round-trip. No indexing lag. Instant on 10,000 notes.

11 Beautiful Themes

Dark+, Monokai, Dracula, Nord, One Dark, Solarized, and more. VS Code-compatible themes — your editor, your aesthetic.

Attachments

Attach PDFs, images, and files directly to notes. They live on your disk — not in a third-party CDN you’re paying monthly to access.

Pro

Focus Mode

Hide everything. Write full-screen with zero UI chrome. The distraction-free mode Obsidian charges a plugin subscription for.

Pro

Export Anywhere

Export to Markdown, HTML, JSON, TXT, and PDF. The foundation for one-click web publishing — launching in Pro v1.5.

Keyboard-First

Command palette, fully customizable shortcuts, zero mouse required. The speed layer that made Notepad++ famous — rebuilt for modern writing.

Free forever. Pro, once.

The core editor is free with no limits, no account, and no expiry. When you're ready for more, Pro is a single $9.99 payment — not a subscription.
