What it does

A local‑first Markdown editor that lets you quickly capture raw text and uses AI to turn it into clean, organized notes.

When to use it
  • You have meeting minutes, research snippets, or ideas scattered in emails, Slack, and docs and need them unified.
  • You want a privacy‑first note‑taking tool that runs on your machine but still leverages AI for summarisation.
  • You need to generate a polished Markdown report from raw bullet points without leaving your editor.
Ready-to-paste prompt
Turn these raw meeting bullets into a concise Markdown summary:
- Q3 revenue up 12% YoY
- New partnership with Acme Corp
- Need to hire 2 data engineers
- Budget approval pending

(Press the “Summarise” button after pasting the text.)
Heads up: The first AI‑driven transformation fails unless you set a valid `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable; the app does not ship with a key.
