Your notes.
Native. Fast.
Beautifully structured.
A desktop writing app for Org-mode that thinks the way you think — and renders at 120 frames per second.
A writing app, rebuilt from scratch.
Every detail engineered for the way you actually write.
Performance
per second.
Always.
Rendered directly to the GPU through the same engine that powers Zed. Even ten‑thousand‑line documents stay buttery.
Structure
Design to help you iterate on the structure of your writing. Promote, demote, fold, or move whole subtrees with a keystroke.
Tables
inside your notes.
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)
AI
Private by design.
Summarize, rewrite, or brainstorm — powered by Ollama running on your machine. Your notes never leave your device.
Pure functions.
Beautiful behavior.
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.
