Keep every idea in one place.

Notidian is a local-first creative workspace for Markdown notes, drawing, PDFs, and files. Keep your ideas together and your files on your device; managed encrypted sync is available as an experiment during beta.

Our ultimate goal: to be the best drawing app, the best note-taking app, the best GTD (Getting Things Done) app, the best design app, the best reading app, and the best document editing app—all in one local-first workspace. This is our long-term ambition, not a claim about today's capabilities.

Drawing

An infinite canvas powered by WebGPU compute shaders. Pressure-sensitive brushes, stamps, glow effects, and lasso selection for fluid, direct canvas work.

Notes

Markdown files on your filesystem with a full rich text editor on top. Wikilinks, backlinks, graph view, slash commands, and code blocks with syntax highlighting.

Presentations

Create slides without leaving your vault. Drawing overlay with favorite pens, fullscreen presenter mode with speaker notes, and templates for quick creation.

Video Editor

Multi-track timeline with 20+ transitions, keyframe animation, color correction, audio mixer, speed ramping, and voice-over recording. All inside your vault.

AI that reads your vault

Your files are markdown and YAML -- the most AI-friendly format that exists. Rewrite, summarize, translate, and ask questions with context from your notes. Run models locally in your browser with WebLLM, or connect Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.

Coming soon Creative Credits

Create anything from your workspace

Generate presentations, drawings, images, animations, voiceovers, and video without managing separate AI provider APIs. Use Creative Credits, or connect supported subscriptions like ChatGPT or Grok. Notidian will route each task to the best model for quality and cost.

Local by default

Canonical work is stored as files on your filesystem, including Markdown, scene data, and original assets. No cloud account is required for local use. Keep your files even if you stop using Notidian.

Optional Sync encrypts files before upload. It is experimental during beta: keep an independent backup and check Settings → Sync for your current storage limit.

Markdown + YAML Works offline Experimental encrypted sync Obsidian import macOS app

One place for your creative work. A useful local core stays free.

Your drawing becomes a slide. Your notes reference your videos. Your calendar connects to your projects. Everything flows together because it was built to work as one. No jumping between tools. No scattered files. No friction.

Use it or lose it.

AI can't do the push-ups for you.

It can't build your understanding of a book.

It can't develop your drawing hand.

It can't grow your ideas.

Skills grow when you use them. They fade when you don't.

Notidian gives you AI as a coach, not a replacement.
Write your own words. Draw your own ideas. Build your own mind.
