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.
Inline tape-style calculation with unit math and conversions, date arithmetic, variables, and an implicit carry — results flow forward through subsequent operations.
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.
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.
Every page shows what links to it. Unlinked mentions are surfaced separately — see everywhere a topic is discussed, even without explicit links.
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.
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.
