Znote

Znote is a local Markdown editor that works with your own .md files and lets you ask questions about your notes, run small code blocks inline, and connect to real tools through MCP. It runs entirely on your machine, with no cloud requirements, and keeps notes on disk. The app emphasizes offline use and no accounts, while offering inline AI-powered features.

Znote integrates an AI assistant directly into the editing experience. Users invoke AI features in the context of their notes, and can access predefined prompts or create their own as markdown files. The AI overlay can be summoned on any note with simple commands, and results appear inline.

Znote supports running code blocks within notes, which can query databases, call APIs, or transform data. Results render directly in the note, enabling the creation of small tools and dashboards without leaving the document.

Znote uses MCP to connect to real tools like GitHub, Postgres, Slack, Linear, and more. The configuration is designed to be local and mirrors Claude Desktop’s format, allowing servers to operate on the user’s machine.
