MinkNote is a native macOS notes and journal app built on plain Markdown files you own. No database, no account, and no vendor lock-in. Organise work with projects, journals, tags, fast search, rich text or Markdown editing, and automatic image organisation in one private, local-first workspace.
Love how lightweight this feels. A lot of AI note-taking tools try to do everything, but this seems much more focused on getting ideas down without adding friction. Congrats on the launch, Demian! Excited to give it a try.

Thanks of the feedback @rohanmanthani . There are actually no AI features in the app at present. But since everything is managed in plain text easily accessible in the Finder, the AI tools of your choice can easily work their magic, ie with tagging, categorisation, summarisation, etc.
@demianturner Got it. Keeping it plain text and letting people bring their own AI layer means MinkNote doesn't go stale when the "best" AI tool changes next month. Trying it this week

Quick thank you to everyone who's checked out MinkNote, upvoted or left comments, it means a lot to me. The comments have already clarified a few priorities, especially around external edits and making the "journal" naming more clear.
