MarkNote — Local-first Markdown Notes

What it does

Every note is a plainmd file in a folder — switch editors, back it up, put it in git. No proprietary format, no lock-in. Built-in AI assistant (DeepSeek, no API key): @file references, file read/write agent, conversation history, summarize-to-note. Declarative plugins for rendering & templates (keycaps, mentions, quote cards, terminal blocks, report/PRD templates). Offline render: markdown-it, KaTeX, Mermaid, highlight.js. Native SwiftUI + AppKit, no Electron. macOS 14+.

  OwnTime – a chess clock for your day's priorities▲111

  I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life.

The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role&#x2F;priority when its time is up. One…
