Everything in one place.

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

Page Aliases

Give any page additional names with aliases: Eric, EAF. CamelCase is supported natively. Any alias works exactly like the page title — for wiki linking, unlinked mention detection, and search. One page, as many names as it needs.

Task Management

Checkbox tasks with GTD-style @context tags, @due dates, priority ranking, and a Tasks widget and a dedicated page that aggregates across your whole datastore.

Annotations

Annotations are lighter than a task, and allow for ideas and notes to be saved for your future self. Annotate your text in-line about things you want to remember with FIXME, NOTE, IDEA, and TODO tags. Or define your own. They'll all bubble up in the Annotations widget across the entire datastore.

Sidebar Widgets

Collapsible sidebars on all four edges of the editor, each holding any mix of widgets: Calendar, References, Tasks, Search, Outline, Counter, Browser, and more. Resize and arrange them to match how you think — the layout is yours.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
