Summary

✨ Real-time Preview

Write and preview your notes in real time.

What Makes GitNote Different?

  • 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.

Install

Application Signing

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.

    sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/GitNote.app
