Notes & personal knowledge
SquidNote
A playful, local-first notebook for ideas that refuse to fit in plain text.
In active development
The idea
Built around the way knowledge actually moves.
SquidNote combines the freedom of a paper notebook with the structure of a modern productivity app. A note can mix formatted text, headings, checklists, tasks, lists, quotes, tables, images, documents, and places. Groups and paper-like folders keep everything navigable, while internal links and backlinks turn separate notes into a personal knowledge base.
- ✓Block-based notes with rich text, tasks, media, files, tables, quotes, and locations
