Introducing Org-notes
A desktop writing app for Org-mode that thinks the way you think — and renders at 120 frames per second.
Every detail engineered for the way you actually write.
Rendered directly to the GPU through the same engine that powers Zed. Even ten‑thousand‑line documents stay buttery.
Design to help you iterate on the structure of your writing. Promote, demote, fold, or move whole subtrees with a keystroke.
Tab between cells, and columns snap into alignment. Add rows, sort, move columns — then write formulas for sums, averages, and custom calculations, all in plain text.
| Item | Price | Qty | Total | |--------+-------+-----+-------| | Apple | 1.50 | 3 | 4.50 | | Banana | 0.75 | 2 | 1.50 | |--------+-------+-----+-------| | Sum | | | 6.00 | #+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3;@>$4=vsum(@I..@II)
Summarize, rewrite, or brainstorm — powered by Ollama running on your machine. Your notes never leave your device.
The editor
Every structural operation — promoting a heading, cycling a TODO, aligning a table — is a pure transform on text. No magic, no surprises. Just text in, text out, and a perfectly placed cursor.

The preview
Org‑notes parses your file with orgize, applies its own polish — checkboxes, footnotes, inline LaTeX, table alignment — and renders the result beside your editor in real time.
