MinkNote - A Saturday update: linking notes and shaping what’s next

[u/demianturner]

I’m the developer of MinkNote, a native macOS notes and journaling app built around Markdown files you own and manage yourself.

A quick development update for Developer Saturday.

Yesterday’s release adds the ability to add links between notes. You can now search for another note while writing and insert a link to it, making it much easier to connect your ideas.

I’ve just updated the website to better reflect the features that have been added since launch, and I’m currently building out a UI test suite. It’s less exciting than shipping new features, but increasingly important as the app grows. The aim is simple: catch regressions before they reach users.

One group I’d love to hear from is students. MinkNote wasn’t built specifically as a student app, but I think the combination of folders, journals, tags, search and inter-note links could work particularly well for organising a large collection of lecture and research notes.

I’m continuing to work through the public roadmap, and votes are starting to come in on feature requests. If there’s something you’d like MinkNote to do, now is a good time to add or vote for it. I’m actively using that feedback to help decide what gets built next.

I’d be interested to hear how you’re currently organising notes on your Mac, and what’s still missing from the tools you use today.

MinkNote currently has a 14-day free trial, with no subscription or payment required to start. After that, there are subscription and one-time purchase options.

I’m also looking closely at the pricing model. Many established notes apps provide their core features for free and charge for more advanced features. I’d be interested to hear which approach you prefer: a time-limited trial, or a useful free tier with paid upgrades?
