NoteBlob is a free and opensource markdown note editor for ios and macos backed by git. No proprietary formats, no complex versioning ; just a clean git client built for note taking and AI integration. ## WHY ANOTHER NOTE APP? Notes can be confidential and personal, yet note editors usually rely on opaque technologies and, at some point, a payment system. Notes should be easy to edit, versioned, independent of any company, exportable, and confidential. Moreover, in the age of AI, your notes should be model-readable and ready to process. NoteBlob fixes that by relying on something other than itself: at its core, it uses Git and Markdown, the most universal, well-known technologies for editing and backing up data. NoteBlob is simply an interface that makes the experience more user-friendly and iOS-compatible. It provides no custom mechanism or technology, the source of truth remains your Markdown files and your Git repository. Tired of it? Just delete the app; your notes stay in your Git repo as plain Markdown files. ## FEATURES - Markdown editor with a powerful live preview and a fast native editor - GitHub sync a straightforward commit, push, and merge workflow - Full-text search across all your notes / folders - Plugins enhance user experience by importing JS modules. -- Mermaid -- Syntax highlighting And more

No more hunting for links or screenshotting content. If it's on the page, PageHook finds it. • HISTORY & LIBRARY Everything you scan or download is saved to your personal library. Browse in list, grid, or grouped view. Sort by date, name, size, or file type. Mini previews for PDFs, documents, and videos let you see what you have at a glance. Batch select and share multiple files at once. • VISUAL SEARCH Found an image on a page? Use it to search for similar images or find its source across the web using reverse image search. • SOCIAL EMBEDS Detect embedded YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and Vimeo content on any page. See the username or channel and open directly. • DOWNLOAD QUEUE Add URLs to a background download queue.
