## What is QuietRepo?

Your notes, in your files, across your devices.

SYNC WITH GITHUB, WORK IN LOCAL FOLDERS
Clone a GitHub repository to this device for a local working copy with two-way Git synchronization. Save edits offline and sync when connected. Automatic sync keeps saved changes moving between Mac, iPhone and iPad. When edits overlap, review the conflict and choose the local version, incoming version, or both with one action, then save. Automatic sync pauses while conflicts need attention.

You can also open ordinary local folders and text files without an account. Automatic Git sync applies to repositories cloned and managed by QuietRepo; opening an ordinary folder does not connect it to GitHub. Sync requires a connection and appropriate repository access.

FROM AI CONVERSATION TO YOUR NOTEBOOK
The separate QuietRepo AI plugin lets you ask ChatGPT or Claude to save decisions, selected passages, and documents as Markdown in your own private GitHub repository. It also lets AI search those saved notes and cite them when answering.

QuietRepo is the native editor for that same repository: organize the notes, merge related material, and encrypt selected notes locally. The plugin is a separate component with its own setup and authorization; AI chat is not built into this app. It saves material you choose, rather than automatically archiving every conversation. Encrypted note bodies must be decrypted before the plugin can search or cite them.

MAKE NOTES EASY TO RETURN TO
Write Markdown with live preview. Follow [[wiki links]], find backlinks, and navigate with an outline. Search your notes, merge or move files, and organize with tags and front matter properties. Add color highlights to keep useful passages in view. Images can live beside a note in its own assets folder.

ENCRYPT SELECTED NOTES LOCALLY
Use a default password with a recovery key, or give a note its own password. Unlock with Touch ID on supported devices after configuring device authentication. Keep passwords and recovery material safe. Encryption protects selected note contents; filenames and older plaintext versions in Git history are not hidden by encrypting a note now.

MORE THAN MARKDOWN
Edit plain text and text files such as JSON, YAML, CSV, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Swift. Non-Markdown files open as text; this is not a code runner or a rich document editor.

Currently free.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-11-08

Tags: the Tags panel lists every place a tag is used, named by the heading above it, and takes you straight there. Tags also appear in the outline under their headings, in their text colour.

The outline shows headings with their colours and text styles instead of formatting code.

On the Mac, the menu bar has Edit › Find (⌘F, ⌘G), View Mode and Sort Files in the View menu, and the open tabs in the Window menu (⌘1–⌘9).

After naming a new file, press Return to start writing. Opening a file from Finder that is already open switches to its tab.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-11-06

Favorites: pin files and folders to the top of the sidebar.

QuietRepo knowledge bases stay in step with the AI plugin: creating, editing, moving or deleting notes in the app updates the catalog and the README index, More › Rebuild Index regenerates both, and Git sync no longer stops on conflicts in these generated files.

Notes in a GitHub repository opened online now save automatically as you type.

Live Preview, Source and Reading use one font size. Reading follows Readable Width and stays in Reading when you jump from the outline, links or search. Optionally, each file reopens where you left it.

Adding a Git folder explains how it syncs and offers GitHub sign-in. Drag a file you opened on its own onto a folder in your library to copy it there; the original stays where it is. A file opened on its own leaves the sidebar once it is deleted or moved to the Trash, and follows it when renamed or moved.

Files that change outside the app now update on their own within a few seconds, also while the app is in the background. If you have unsaved edits, changes on other lines are merged; otherwise you choose. Refresh is in the File menu and the … menu. In the editor, the file's modification time appears after its name.

On the Mac, the Settings window opens larger and remembers its position.

The view stays put while you type, and long notes no longer go blank when you scroll after editing. On iPhone and iPad, long documents show a scroll handle you can drag. A note encrypted on another device can be saved once you unlock it with its password.

Changing the default password now asks for the current one. Settings › Encryption adds Unify Encrypted Files, which moves files still under an older key to the current default password. Saving keeps a file's recovery key.

In each file's … menu, Find in Note searches the open note, including unlocked encrypted notes; on the Mac, ⌘F does the same. On the Mac, sidebar files now drag reliably with the left mouse button. In Settings, rows that open another page show a clear arrow in light and dark modes.

QuietRepo no longer stalls at launch when an open file's disk is unavailable, such as a locked encrypted vault.

Fixes on iPhone and iPad: changing the encryption password and unlocking with the password work again, and deleting a file or folder no longer hangs.
