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

Great feedback.

Daily notes - not there yet but it's a straightforward feature to add. I'll put it on the roadmap.
Templates - same, noted.
Sync conflicts - fair point. HelixNotes watches the filesystem for external changes, but conflict resolution when two devices edit the same note is a real problem with any file-based sync. Syncthing handles this better than most (it creates conflict copies instead of overwriting), but it's not perfect.

If you end up trying it and want to contribute, open issues on Codeberg for what you'd like to see. Contributions are very welcome.

Oh, forgot to ask, are mobile apps on the roadmap?

Obviously your chosen tech stack makes that difficult, but notes on the go are pretty essential.

I'm thinking about the mobile app in terms of how already. But it's definitely on the roadmap.
