An idea may begin as a sentence, a voice recording, a screenshot, or a link you do not have time to read yet. You should not have to choose a title, folder, and structure before saving it.

NoteGen separates capturing from organizing.

Save information as it appears. Later, select the records that belong together and organize them into a structured Markdown note. You can then review the result, add your own thinking, and continue writing.

The goal is not to let AI write everything for you. It is to make sure useful fragments do not disappear before you have time to turn them into something complete.

1. Capture what happened

   Save a thought, voice recording, screenshot, image, link, file, or todo while it is still fresh.

2. Choose the material

   Filter records by tag, time, or type, then select the items that belong together.

3. Organize the records

   Choose a template or describe what you want to write. NoteGen can organize the selected material into a summary, report, article, or another Markdown structure.

4. Keep writing

   Review the draft in the editor, change the structure, add details, and continue writing in your own words.

• Record parts of a meeting, add two screenshots, and organize them into meeting notes afterward.
• Save links and reading fragments during the week, then organize them into a research note.
• Filter recent records by tag and prepare a weekly report without searching through several apps.
• Collect images and documents for a topic, then ask questions using those materials as context.

Your written notes remain ordinary Markdown files in the workspace you choose.

You can edit them with NoteGen, open them with another Markdown editor, keep them in Git, or move them without exporting from a proprietary format. NoteGen adds recording, AI, search, and organization around those files instead of replacing them.

The editor supports:

• Tables, task lists, code blocks, math, diagrams, and document outlines
• Markdown source mode and visual editing
• Search and replace
• Images, attachments, links, and file references
• Export and printing tools
• File history and workspace management

NoteGen connects to the AI providers and models you configure. You can use different models for chat, writing, embeddings, image recognition, OCR, and audio.

AI can help you:

• Organize selected records into a structured note
• Continue, shorten, expand, rewrite, or translate existing text
• Ask questions about notes, records, images, and knowledge base content
• Search local material before answering
• Generate diagrams and charts from your notes
• Work through longer tasks with Agent mode

AI is part of the workflow, but the result remains editable. You decide what to keep.

A note should remain useful after you finish writing it.

NoteGen can build a searchable knowledge base from your files and combine semantic retrieval with local text search. You can use a note, a group of records, or the knowledge base as context in a conversation instead of copying everything into a new prompt.

For advanced workflows, NoteGen also supports:

• Vector indexing and hybrid retrieval
• Configurable embedding and reranking models
• Long-term memories and reusable prompts
• MCP servers
• Installable Skills
• Agent tools for working with notes and files

NoteGen includes a canvas workspace for material that is easier to understand visually.

You can create and edit:

• Flowcharts
• Mind maps
• Timelines
• Freehand drawings
• Data charts
• Diagrams generated from note content

Canvas elements remain editable after they are created, including content suggested by AI.

Notes are stored locally first. When you need them on another device, you can sync through services you already use.

Supported options include:

• GitHub
• GitLab
• Gitee
• Gitea
• S3-compatible storage
• WebDAV

You can also keep local backups without enabling cloud sync.

GitHub Releases are also available as a fallback mirror:
