I built a note-taking app because the one I wanted didn't exist. Clean UI, local .md files, no cloud, no account.

Built with Rust + Tauri 2.0 + SvelteKit. Full-text search powered by Tantivy. Graph view, AI writing tools (bring your own key), Obsidian import, version history.

Available for Linux (AppImage, APT, AUR), Windows, and macOS. Source: https://codeberg.org/ArkHost/HelixNotes

So far it has been smooth sailing. But I will report. Only things Iam missing are:

  • the ability to open notes side by side or alternatively to open a second instance of the app.
  • ability to swap/move line up/down via shortcuts with arrow keys
  • showing line numbers

maybe you can consider these for the future.

Great! Thanks for the feedback.

All 3 enhancements noted. Will be implemented in next release.

Update: The line shortcuts and line numbers will be in the next release. The side-by-side/split view requires a significant architecture refactor, so that one will take longer - it's on the roadmap but not for the immediate next release.

Wow, that was really fast. Thank you very much!

You can now open a note in a separate window. This has been added in v1.1.6, along with other fixes and feature additions.
