## What is GitNotēs?

GitNotēs — Notes that live in your GitHub repos.

No database. No vendor lock-in. Your notes are real .md, .org, and .norg files in a Git repository — owned by you, editable anywhere, synced like code.

Why GitNotēs
 • Every save is a real commit with a clear message
 • Sync via GitHub API or full local clone
 • Conflict detection when devices race
 • Pull-to-refresh, auto-sync every minute, offline queue

Your formats
 • Markdown with GFM rendering, tables, code blocks, math
 • Org-mode with checkboxes and properties
 • Neorg with modern @document.meta blocks
 • Switch between rendered view, raw text, and checklists

Everything inside
 • Notes with tags, colors, pins
 • Todos with priorities, deadlines, swipe-to-delete
 • Journals auto-tagged by date
 • Templates for repeating note shapes
 • Canvases (Beta) — visual notes in plain text
 • Browse, rename, move files across all repos

AI (optional)
 • Apple Intelligence on supported devices
 • On-device Llama — nothing leaves your phone
 • Bring your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint
 • Disable entirely; all features work without it

Privacy
 • Repo is your data store — we have no server
 • Face ID lock
 • Tokens scoped to what you grant
 • No analytics, no tracking

Also included
 • Dark/light/system theme
 • Multi-account GitHub
 • Voice-to-text input
 • Image attachments uploaded to your repo
 • Import from Google Keep and Apple Notes (Beta)
 • Background sync every 15 minutes
 • Tablet layout

Open by design

If GitNotēs disappears tomorrow, your notes are still in a repo on GitHub — readable by any text editor on Earth. Every commit is portable. Every file is yours
