note.md

note.md is a local-first markdown workspace built for researchers who've been duct-taping their workflow together from Zotero, Obsidian, and three different PDF readers. It's a Mac app that does all of it—one place to drop in every paper for your thesis, take linked notes in markdown as you read, and watch those notes grow into the chapter you're actually writing. No cloud sync, no subscriptions, no wondering if your thoughts are.trainng on someone else's servers. Your notes never leave your machine. That's the point.

Here's why it matters: if you've ever tried to write a serious academic paper—say, a thesis or a publication—you know the pain. Papers live in Zotero, notes go in Obsidian, PDFs are in some viewer, citations need to be perfect in BibTeX or APA, and good luck keeping track of which highlight sparked which thought. note.md bundles it all. Side-by-side PDF reading, smart citations pulled straight from metadata, bidirectional links between notes, and a visual graph showing how your ideas connect. GitHub-flavored markdown, LaTeX math, complex tables—all plain text files you can open anywhere. They're targeting the rigor of Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, and ETH Zürich. This isn't for casual note-takers. It's for people who need their thinking traceable and editable ten years from now.

For researchers tired of fragmented tools, note.md brings everything into one coherent workflow on your own machine. macOS only. Download it and stop the app-hopping.
