Notedo

• Write Notes in markdown, attach Todos and Images to your notes
• Keep links/bookmarks organized and accessible
• Fast full text search with instant indexing
• Vim mode (because Vim > Emacs)
• Accessible as a single page app and a Progressive Web App (PWA) for a native experience
• All connections stay local with zero external dependencies
• Works equally on Linux, Mac, and Windows
• No install required - distributed as a portable self contained executable
• and more...

Notedo is in early development, see roadmap for upcoming features. Feel free to request a new feature or report a bug under issues

Usage

Download the latest release and launch the server

notedo server --gui

Contextual help is available with notedo help

Config

Settings can be overridden by CLI flags, environment variables, and the config file (in that order)

e.g. to launch with a different host and port:

notedo server --host 0.0.0.0 -p 8080

The flag names resemble the equivalent environment variable and config file settings

For example,

$ notedo help
...
Flags:
  -d, --datadir string     Data storage path ...
...

To override datadir you can set the environment variable NOTEDO_DATADIR=<something> or in the notedo.yaml:

datadir: <something>

See the contextual help for additional instructions on modifying settings

Tips

• Ctrl+P (Command+P) to focus search field
• Ctrl+Shift+L (Command+Shift+L) to focus search field in link mode
• Search supports slash commands, start search with /
• Search queries use Bleve's Query String Syntax, few examples:
  • note will find instances of note, Note, notes, Notes, etc.
  • note* will find the same but also non-stemmed words, such as Notedo
• Use the bookmarklet for quickly saving links
• Pin notes by dragging to left nav

Tech

• Back-end written in Go
• Front-end written using Vue.js with dist embedded into executable
