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

    Since this looks to be similar to Obsidian, why not name it something else like it, but without the Obsidian name?

    I’ll need to do some numerology on that…

    EDIT: On the note of Obsidian, my producer and I use it all the time, however, there is another one that someone in a community I’m in looked at, that being Trilium Next. Judging by the looks, it’s got similarities to Trilium, which is actually pretty nice.

      The name comes from the double helix. Structured but flexible, like how notes should be. Trilium is a solid project, but it stores notes in an SQLite database and runs on Electron. HelixNotes keeps everything as plain .md files and uses Tauri, so much lighter on resources.
