About
One place for a passing thought to become a note, a task or a plan.
OikoNotes is built and run by one person, Carlo. There is no sales team.
I built OikoNotes because I wanted one place for notes, tasks, projects and the practical records that usually end up scattered across apps, without having to do the filing myself.
The idea is simple: put raw material in first and decide its structure later. Quick capture and the Inbox take anything. The assistant suggests where things go, what links to what, and which lines are really tasks or dates. It does not quietly reorganise your notes: every change waits for your yes.
It runs in the browser because that is the easiest way to reach your notes from any computer, including one where you can't install software. It has a Linux desktop app because some work should stay on your own machine.
OikoNotes is made by Sloth Machine Software, a trading name of WEHI Web Design Ltd, registered in England and Wales.
Principles
How OikoNotes thinks
Notes come first
Tasks, events and projects link back to the notes that explain them.
The assistant asks
Every AI change is a proposal with a reason. You accept, edit or reject it.
Markdown is the truth
Notes are Markdown. Search indexes and links can be rebuilt from them, and export is complete.
Capture first
Drop anything into the Inbox without deciding where it belongs.
Commitments
What OikoNotes won't do
- Edit your notes, tasks or events without asking.
- Send private notes, vault notes or notes with AI turned off to a model.
- Sell your data or show you ads.
- Lock your notes in: export stays open, even after you cancel.
How it's built
Rust, SQLite and a Linux app.
The web app is written in Rust with Leptos and rendered on the server. The Linux app uses Tauri and keeps your data in a local SQLite file. Cloud accounts, sync and hosted AI run on Copepod, a platform built alongside OikoNotes.
Try it on your own machine first.
The Linux app is free, works offline and needs no account.
The Linux app is free and needs no account. Paid plans open with the paid beta on 7 December 2026, for UK customers first.
