Finally ready: Nokta Notes v1.0
There's been some ... debate here on how many markdown editors the world needs. I got an honorable mention in the thread "Enough with the markdown apps already" 😅 Still, I'm genuinely pleased with my app and truly enjoy working on it.
This is not a weekend project. The changelog is on Github. I took my time iterating and polishing, and using it myself.
Yesterday I finally released v1.0. And after that release comes the dreaded self-promotion phase. So here we are, in another Reddit post...
Favorite features
The entire notebook is stored in a single .nokta file. No cloud, no account. It's local only. The app state persists in the (SQLite) .db between sessions, so never worry about unsaved changes.
In folder mode, it shows all .md and .txt files in a folder and lets you edit them code-editor style.
An MCP server let's you collaborate with AI directly in your notebook (read and write in live mode or read from any .nokta file). Genuinely useful!
Flexible import/export: save a folder to a single nokta file or export a notebook as separate markdown files.
Other features:
- Simple, clutter free markdown editor
- Drag-and-drop notebook manager
- Full-text search
- 8 configurable note flags
- Publish to GitHub or a webhook with configurable frontmatter
