Notes by Halo is a minimal Markdown notes app for Windows that keeps your notes as plainmd files in a folder you control. Version 1.1.0 adds keyboard-first navigation, a cross-note task overview (press Space), an interactive tour, and a built-in MCP server, so assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor can work with your notes locally. Free on the Microsoft Store, in English and Japanese.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm ichi, the maker of Notes by Halo. I wanted a notes app where my notes stay as plain Markdown files on my own disk, but that still feels fast and modern. 1.1.0 is the release where it learned to talk to AI: the built-in MCP server lets Claude Desktop or Cursor read, write and check off tasks in my notes, without my notes ever leaving my machine. I'd love feedback, especially from MCP users: which tools would you want next? The app is free on the Microsoft Store. Thank you for taking a look.
