HelixNotes - a local markdown note-taking app (Rust + Tauri, AGPL-3.0) (helixnotes.com)

I built a note-taking app because the one I wanted didn't exist. Clean UI, local .md files, no cloud, no account.

Built with Rust + Tauri 2.0 + SvelteKit. Full-text search powered by Tantivy. Graph view, AI writing tools (bring your own key), Obsidian import, version history.

Available for Linux (AppImage, APT, AUR), Windows, and macOS. Source: https://codeberg.org/ArkHost/HelixNotes

Fair question. Use case: you take rough notes during a meeting, no formatting, just raw thoughts. AI can clean them up, summarize, or restructure after the fact. It's completely optional though. Disabled by default, doesn't even show in the context menus unless you explicitly configure it in settings with your own API key. If you don't want it, it's like it doesn't exist.

So, a feature for those who want it, but turned off out of the box for those who absolutely do not want it? Did I understand correctly?

[–] ArkHost@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. Off by default, invisible unless you enable it.

As ai features should be. You're the dev?

[–] ArkHost@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Correct. Yes I am.

Cool. I appreciate this design decision. If only more went that route (looking at you, Microslop)

I see on the page it says you can bring an anthropic or openai key. Can I also point it at my own locally hosted model?

[–] ArkHost@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not at this moment. Which local model would you like to see as an additional option?

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

I don't know what is typical, but when I use AI locally I've been running llama-cpp with models grabbed from HF (ex. QwenCoder). Then in my VS code plugin (RooCode) I use the "OpenAI compatible" option to point it at my local server.

Not sure how hard that is to get working, but my hope is that "OpenAI Compatible" helps.

Ollama, lmstudio, llama.Cpp

[–] ArkHost@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Ollama is now also possible.
