Znote

Znote is a desktop application that turns plain Markdown notes into executable workflows. It combines note-taking with code execution, AI integration, and automation, all within local .md files.

Key Features

• Executable Markdown: Write JavaScript/Node.js code blocks that run directly in your notes, with output displayed inline.
• AI Integration: Bring your own API key (OpenAI, Ollama, OpenRouter) to use AI for tasks like rewriting, summarizing, or generating code. AI can also call custom JavaScript functions.
• Plugins & Integrations: Built-in plugins for Gmail, Jira, and Slack allow drafting emails, creating tickets, and posting messages from within a note.
• Voice Recording & Transcription: Record meetings directly in Znote, which transcribes and summarizes them.
• Local & Private: All files stored locally, works offline, and supports password protection.

Use Cases

• Meeting to Jira: Record a meeting, get transcription, generate user stories, and push them to Jira in seconds.
• API Testing & Documentation: Test endpoints with JavaScript and document them in the same file.
• SQL Exploration: Query databases and display results as charts or tables inline.
• Email Drafting: Use AI to draft replies from Gmail threads labeled in Znote.
• Brainstorming: Write rough ideas, have AI structure them into clear notes.

Who It’s For

• Tech leads & Product owners: Turn meeting notes into actionable tickets.
• Indie developers: A lightweight tool for prototyping, testing APIs, and automating workflows.
• Developers: Keep code snippets, run scripts, and document projects without switching apps.

Znote respects your existing tools — it works alongside Obsidian, Notion, and VS Code, and because files are plain Markdown, they remain portable and yours forever.
