I built a note-taking app because the one I wanted didn’t exist. Clean UI, local .md files, no cloud, no account.
Built with Rust + Tauri 2.0 + SvelteKit. Full-text search powered by Tantivy. Graph view, AI writing tools (bring your own key), Obsidian import, version history.
Available for Linux (AppImage, APT, AUR), Windows, and macOS. Source: https://codeberg.org/ArkHost/HelixNotes



According to the page it supports note linking. Isn’t obsidian also free as long as you are not using the sync service?
At the moment I am using Anytype, but am looking into obsidian. Lately anytypes development feels kind of strange. They are more an more moving from a note app to a collaboration app. And I wonder how long the note taking will be unaffected by it. So obisidian is becoming more and more interesting, because of the independent markdown format…
Yeah it’s free, I just meant “foss”, I didn’t mean to say obsidian isn’t free.
Also I use syncthing, so I don’t care about built-in sync as long as it’s just a folder of files on my file system.
