A solo-built workspace for fast capture, local options, and reviewed AI.
OikoNotes is a practical workspace for notes, tasks, projects, and the messy bits of life that normally get scattered across apps. It is web-first, local-capable, and deliberately cautious with AI: suggestions are useful, but you decide what gets written.
I built OikoNotes because I wanted one place for notes, tasks, projects, and the practical records that usually end up scattered across apps. It is web-first because the browser is convenient. It has a Linux desktop app because some work should stay local.
The goal is a low-friction place to put raw material first and decide structure later. Quick capture, a process queue, and AI suggestions help sort and connect things, but AI is there to suggest structure, not to quietly reorganise your notes.
Principles
How OikoNotes thinks
Capture first
Drop ideas into the inbox without deciding where they belong. Process later.
AI proposes; humans apply
Every AI suggestion goes through your review. No silent edits, no automated reorganization.
Markdown & SQLite portability
Your data is plain text and structured tables you can query, export, and migrate.
Practical modules stay connected
Notes, tasks, trips, and budgets share one database and one knowledge graph.
Stack
How it's built
The web app is Rust with Leptos server-side rendering. Desktop uses Tauri on Linux and stores local data in SQLite. Copepod provides cloud auth, sync, billing, and hosted AI infrastructure.
