Notion became a workspace, not a notepad.
Obsidian needed a manual just to get started.
I just wanted Apple Notes — with local markdown files
and an AI chat on the side.
So I built
Notepad, Evolved.
Apple Notes simplicity. Local markdown files. AI chat built in.

How it works
Step 1
Open any folder
Pick a folder on your Mac — that's your workspace. No import, no sync, no setup. Just your files.
📁 My Notes
📄 Quick Notes.md
📄 Architecture.md
📄 Meeting Notes.md
📁 Projects
📄 App Ideas.md
Step 2
Write in markdown
Create and edit .md files with full standard markdown support. Headings, lists, code blocks, links — it all just works.
