Slate Outliner Keeps Notes as Plain Files

Field notes

Slate’s storage model keeps pages as markdown files on disk, while allowing each page to switch between a bullet-outline view and an ordinary document view. Checkboxes can acquire dates or repetition and appear in a separate Tasks agenda beside an optional Journal module. The site also describes local version history, compatibility with Obsidian and vim, and encrypted-before-transmission sync through either its relay or one the user hosts.
