Editorial interest 74/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Markdown note-taking app that saves locally and can checkpoint a notes library to GitHub.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.

For: Markdown note-takers who want GitHub-backed backups
Worth noticing: Typing saves locally; GitHub checkpoints commit pending changes, with collision handling for local, remote, or merged versions.

Field notes

The interface separates local editing from GitHub checkpointing: typing saves on the device, while checkpoints commit pending changes to a connected repository. Auto-checkpoint timing is adjustable from one minute to one day, with 30 minutes stated as the default. For collisions between vaults, the displayed options are to stage local replacements, keep the remote vault, or save a merged result.
