MoreInfo is an opinionated markdown-based knowledge base built around plain text. Wiki-style links, task management, daily journals, inline
calculations — all stored as .md files you own and
control.

All your notes, tasks, and calculations — interconnected, searchable, and always stored as plain text files.
Today's journal opens automatically on startup. Navigate your history and your future with a visual calendar widget. Stored as YYYY-MM-DD.md.
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.
Inline tape-style calculation with unit math and conversions, date arithmetic, variables, and an implicit carry — results flow forward through subsequent operations.
Instant search powered by SQLite FTS5. Searches across all your wiki pages, journals, and tags — results appear as you type.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your datastore is a single folder. Sync with iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, syncthing, git, whatever. Move it anywhere. It works wherever your files are.
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
The @calc block turns any section of your note into a calculator. Unit conversions, date math, and running totals — right in your markdown, no spreadsheet required.
Annotations are inline signals — TODO, FIXME, NOTE, and IDEA markers highlighted in the editor and aggregated in the sidebar. No checkbox, no state, no commitment.
Add typed metadata to any page using Jekyll-style or .sig block metadata. Strings, dates, booleans, and arrays — add arbitrary columns to your in situ database.
Any line starting with [ ] is a task. Add @context tags, @due dates, and priority numbers — all optional, all plain text. A Tasks widget and dedicated page aggregates them across the entire datastore.
Free, open source, and ready to use. Your notes stay on your machine — always.
