Your notes, your life, your knowledge.
A pocket assistant that works inside your notes. Capture anything; OikoNotes links it, turns it into tasks and plans, and handles the filing. Nothing changes until you say yes.
Free, works offline, no account needed. Paid beta with sync, the web app and hosted AI opens 7 December for UK customers.
For people who think in notes: developers, researchers, writers, and anyone leaving Obsidian or Notion.
Daily note · Monday
Busy week. Still need to book the dentist this week, and send Sam the notes from Thursday's meeting.
Waiting for youtask
Add task: Book the dentist · due Friday
Reason: you wrote “need to book the dentist this week”.
01 — How it works
Capture first. Let the filing happen around you.
Capture
Everything lands in your Inbox
Type, paste, upload a file or record a voice note. Decide where it goes later.
Read the guideConnectNotes link to notes
Write [[wikilinks]]. Backlinks, a graph and search bring old ideas back when they matter.
Read the guideActTurn a line into a plan
Make a task, an event or a project card without leaving the note it came from.
Read the guideReviewThe assistant proposes
It suggests tags, links, tasks and dates, each with a reason. You decide what gets written.
Read the guide02 — It asks first
An assistant that never edits behind your back.
Most AI note apps rewrite your notes for you. OikoNotes doesn't. Every change arrives as a card with a reason, and nothing is written until you accept it. Your permanent notes stay in your own words: there the assistant asks questions instead of writing answers.
Proposal
A card, not an edit
Tags, links, tasks, events and summaries are suggestions you accept, edit or reject.
Reason
Every card says why
Each suggestion shows the line in your note that prompted it.
Privacy
Some notes stay out
Private notes, vault notes and notes with AI turned off are never sent to a model.
03 — Yours to keep
Your notes are Markdown, and they leave with you.
Export every note as Markdown in one ZIP whenever you like, and import Markdown files back in. The Linux app works offline, keeps your notes in a SQLite database on your machine and never needs an account.
04 — Your AI, your choice
Hosted, your own key, or nothing leaves your machine.
Hosted
Works out of the box
On a cloud plan, hosted AI is paid from your monthly credits.
Your own key
Mistral, OpenAI or Anthropic
Bring your own API key. The provider bills you directly.
Local
Ollama on your machine
Run a model yourself and nothing leaves your computer. Or turn AI off entirely.
05 — Beyond notes
The same notes run the rest of your week.
Tasks, calendar, reminders, shopping lists, projects and a budget live next to the notes that explain them, and link back to them. Every plan includes all of it.
06 — Who builds it
Built by one person, in the open.
OikoNotes is built and run by one person, Carlo. There is no sales team. Being small is a real risk for you, so the product is built so that your notes never depend on OikoNotes being around.
