Kithnote

Kithnote is a free notebook for writing and connecting your thoughts. Open it in your browser at kithnote.app/notes and start writing, or install the Windows beta. You don't need an account for a local notebook. These pages describe Kithnote 0.6.3 (the Windows app); the web app works the same.

Beta

Kithnote is a free beta. Features and limits can change. Cloud sync is optional and has storage limits during the beta (see Sync).

What you can do

Write Markdown notes in three modes: Read, Write and Visual.
Link notes with [[wiki links]], tag them with #tags and see BACKLINKS to each note.
Keep notes in folders, mark favorites, search every note and explore a graph of your links.
Draw Mermaid diagrams, use callouts, checklists and tables.
Import Markdown files, folders, Obsidian vaults and ZIP archives, and export everything as Markdown.
Protect the notebook on one device with an optional vault password.
Sync notes between devices with free sync that encrypts notes on your device before upload (optional; creating a vault needs an account).
Work offline in the browser or on Windows.
