Comment ça marche

  1. Download the app

    Get NoteGen for your platform from the download page or GitHub Releases - no account or setup is needed to start writing.

  2. Choose a workspace

    Pick a folder for your Markdown files; notes remain plain files you can open in any editor or keep in Git.

  3. Capture records

    Save thoughts, voice notes, screenshots, links and files as they occur, without worrying about titles or folders.

  4. Organize with AI

    Configure an AI provider when you are ready, select related records, and generate a structured note from a template or your own description - then keep editing it yourself.

Pourquoi on l'adore

Capture-first workflow

Records (text, voice, screenshots, images, links, files, todos) are saved instantly and organized later, so fragments are not lost while you decide structure.

AI organization

Turn selected records into summaries, reports or articles, and use AI to continue, shorten, expand, rewrite or translate text - the result always stays editable.

Real Markdown editor

Tables, task lists, code blocks, math, diagrams and outlines, with source and visual editing modes, search and replace, file history and export/printing.

Searchable knowledge base

Build a knowledge base from your files combining semantic retrieval with local text search, with configurable embedding and reranking models, and use notes as conversation context.

Canvas workspace

Create and edit flowcharts, mind maps, timelines, freehand drawings and data charts, including diagrams generated from note content.

Sync on your terms

Local-first storage with optional sync through GitHub, GitLab, Gitee, Gitea, S3-compatible storage or WebDAV, plus local backups - and MCP servers, Skills and Agent tools for advanced workflows.

Questions fréquentes

Who maintains NoteGen?

NoteGen is an open-source project led by codexu with community contributors.

Is NoteGen free?

The app is open source under GPL-3.0 and free to download; desktop builds are in beta and mobile builds in alpha, per the README.

Does it need a paid API key?

Only for AI features, and only for the provider you configure - you bring your own model access (different models can serve chat, writing, embeddings, OCR and audio). Capturing and editing notes needs no key.

How does NoteGen compare with Obsidian or Notion?

Like Obsidian it is local-first Markdown, but its core loop is capturing raw records first and using AI to organize them into notes later; Notion is cloud-first with a proprietary format.

How do I get started?

Download the app, choose a workspace, add your first record - you do not need to configure AI or sync before writing.
