HelixNotes — Local-First Markdown Notes
helixnotes.com
A local-first markdown note-taking app. Your notes stay on your machine. No cloud, no lock-in.

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

    Looks like an interesting project!

    Could you please consider publishing it to Flathub?

      Not the developer, though that could be an option for sure. I’d highly recommend looking at the security holes for Flatpak, and it’s got a ton of them. They’re getting fixed, though I don’t even have Flatpak installed on my machine.

        Are there security issues specific to Flatpak? I would have thought it’d be more secure than Appimage, since it’s sandboxed.
