Field notes
The editor works against a folder-based vault rather than a hidden database, keeping pages as ordinary Markdown files on disk. Its formatting model covers common inline Markdown elements while retaining the source underneath, and the site explicitly says Mermaid blocks are preserved even though diagram rendering is still being built. Downloads target both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 12 or later.
