Markdown

Write in markdown. Watch it transform.

Markdown under the hood, but you never have to think about it. Headings, **bold**, checklists, tables, [[wikilinks]], and fenced code — the syntax melts away as you type, leaving plain text you own, portable to any editor, forever.

Self-hosting

Self-hosting is a first-class citizen.

You're never penalized for self-hosting. Your notes are portable markdown you own. Bring your own sync, or run the official server on your own box and sync over your own network.
