Blinko

AI notes and personal blogging for capturing ideas fast

About Blinko

Blinko is a personal note-taking tool built for capturing quick thoughts and growing them into lasting notes. You jot down fleeting ideas, ask built-in AI to expand or polish them, organize files and supporting material, and publish selected notes directly to a personal blog. Features include conversations with your notes and a plugin marketplace. The open-source version can be self-hosted, while Blinko Cloud lets you start free without managing a server, with paid options for heavier use.
