NoteGen

Open-source AI Markdown notes: capture first, organize later

About NoteGen

NoteGen is a cross-platform, open-source note-taking app built around capturing first and organising later: text, voice, screenshots, links and files land in one stream, then AI helps turn selected records into structured Markdown notes, articles and reports. Notes stay as ordinary Markdown files in the user's own workspace, sync through Git or cloud drives, and work local-first with no account.
