Welcome to MinkNote

Welcome to MinkNote, a Markdown notebook for macOS that stores your notes as plain text files you own.

Everything stays on your Mac. No accounts, no cloud lock-in, and no proprietary database. Your notes remain readable for years, even without MinkNote.

The Getting Started guide introduces the core features in just a few minutes. When you’re ready, create your first journal and start writing.

This Getting Started journal may be updated in future releases. Create your own journals for your notes.
