Open a tab. Type. Close the tab. Your notes are still there. Saved as plain .md files on your disk if you want them.
Six things a fast notes app should do. Most do none of them.
19 millisecond keystroke. No spinners, no flicker, no waiting. Disk saves happen in the background.
Every note is a real .md file in your Documents folder. Open it anywhere. Move it anywhere. Quit anytime.
Write a #hashtag and the sidebar files it for you. No folders required. Autocomplete kills the #todo vs #todos sprawl.
Type [[ to link any note to any note. Backlinks appear automatically. Obsidian's killer feature, without the cliff.
⌘N captures. ⌘K jumps. ⌘D opens today's note. ⌘. focuses. Built for hands that don't want to leave the keys.
Summarise, explain, translate. Only on text you select. Pay-per-use credits, no monthly fee, never auto-runs.
