Everything in one place.

All your notes, tasks, and calculations — interconnected, searchable, and always stored as plain text files.

Daily Journals

Today's journal opens automatically on startup. Navigate your history and your future with a visual calendar widget. Stored as YYYY-MM-DD.md.

Categories

A page can belong to one category — Person, Project, Meeting — answering what kind of thing is this? Unlike tags (which answer what is it about?), a category is structural, inherited from its template, and powers filtered views across your datastore.

@calc Blocks

Inline tape-style calculation with unit math and conversions, date arithmetic, variables, and an implicit carry — results flow forward through subsequent operations.

Full-Text Search

Instant search powered by SQLite FTS5. Searches across all your wiki pages, journals, and tags — results appear as you type.

Templates

Wiki pages can be based on templates, keeping structure and metadata consistent across page categories. Create templates for meetings, people, projects, etc., and get structured content into the datastore quickly.

Scratch Pad

A persistent sidebar widget for temporary notes, quick calculations, and throwaway text — not a page, so it never appears in search or links. Survives app restarts. Supports @calc blocks and one-off text operations like sort, convert, and deduplicate.

Plain text, forever.

Every note you write is just a .md file on your disk. No proprietary format, no database lock-in, no account required. Use all the tools you already use.

Any editor

Open your notes in any text editor you choose: VS Code, Obsidian, iA Writer, vim, whatever. MoreInfo watches for external changes and syncs automatically. That said, MoreInfo's text editor is pretty great.

True portability

Your datastore is a single folder. Sync with iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, syncthing, git, whatever. Move it anywhere. It works wherever your files are.

Your files

An SQLite database is created as a speed cache — it automatically updates as files change on disk, can be deleted and rebuilt at any time. The markdown files are the sole source of all truth.

Spotlight Features

Start building your knowledge base. Start writing. Start knowing.

Free, open source, and ready to use. Your notes stay on your machine — always.
