GitNote is a personal note-taking software with powerful editing capabilities.
Write and preview your notes in real time.
No lag, no context switching—what you see is what you write.
A powerful and focused editor designed for structured notes, long-form writing, and daily knowledge capture.
Your notes are stored in a GitHub repository you own.
They will never be lost, unless GitHub shuts down or your account is deleted.
No proprietary cloud. No lock-in. Your data, forever.
After syncing, your notes can be viewed directly on GitHub anytime, anywhere—without installing GitNote.

-
GitHub is your database
GitNote doesn’t invent another cloud. It uses the most reliable developer platform in the world.
-
Your notes outlive the app
Even if GitNote disappears, your notes remain readable as plain text in GitHub.
-
Built for permanence, not monetization
No subscriptions, no upsells, no closed formats.
GitNote aims to be the last note-taking software you’ll ever need.
As long as GitHub exists, your notes exist.
The latest official installers and portable versions for macOS and windows can be found at Github Releases page.
GitNote is not signed (due to its costs) so you will need to use a workaround for the first run. The workaround depends on if you're running an Intel or Apple Silicon chip.
- Intel Chips: Open a Mac app from an unidentified developer.
- Apple Chips: Open a terminal and run this command:
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/GitNote.app
