Notary

A fast, desktop-first & Vim-friendly Markdown editor

About

Notary is an attempt to build a markdown editor that focuses on simplicity, speed and the possibility to write content with Vim bindings.

Local files

Notary doesn't have any sort of special format for documents. It simply reads from a ~/notes folder and uses .md files for documents.

• Everything on your machine
• Local files and folder
• No telemetry collection

Syncing

If you want to sync your documents, connect the ~/notes folder with your source control manager of choice and handle your own syncing!

Note Notary might add support for syncing through the app in the future.
