HelixNotes — Local Markdown Notes
helixnotes.com
A local markdown note-taking app. Your notes stay on your machine. No cloud, no lock-in.

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

    Since my producer and I are using the Odin Project to potentially learn full-stack JS after the foundations course completion on our end (Rails is another option for full-stack development), we could certainly look into Tauri (even if we’re not done with that yet). I wonder, however, why many apps don’t use Tauri, and instead, Electron.

      Electron came first and has a massive ecosystem. Most apps were built before Tauri was mature enough. Switching frameworks is expensive, so existing apps stay on Electron. New projects are increasingly picking Tauri though.
