Grimoire

Grimoire is a local-first note-taking application that transforms a folder of Markdown files into a connected knowledge base, solving the problem of data lock-in and ensuring notes remain accessible and portable. It targets developers, IT professionals, and individual users who value ownership and control over their data, from freelancers to enterprises. Unlike cloud-based note apps, Grimoire stores notes as plain Markdown files in a user-chosen folder, with no account or proprietary format, and syncs via existing tools like iCloud or Git.
