01
Plain files, forever portable
Your notes stay ordinary Markdown in a folder you choose — readable in any editor, compatible with Obsidian and Git, useful with or without Thortiq.
Thortiq Markdown
Your files. Your workspace. Markdown all the way down.
Point Thortiq at a folder of plain Markdown files and get a complete knowledge workspace — notes, journal, tasks, habits, canvases, flashcards and a built-in AI assistant. Your files stay ordinary Markdown the whole time.
Or explicitly launch the browser appprojects / atlas.md

Local first by design
A capable app without a captive format.
02
A whole system, not just an editor
Journal, tasks, a habit tracker with streaks, flashcards, backlinks and fast boolean search — the daily rituals live beside the notes they produce.
03
Blocks you can move
Drag and drop blocks to restructure a note, and zoom into a heading or outline to work on just that part — outliner ergonomics on plain Markdown.
04
Draw, map, annotate
Sketch drawings, lay ideas out on canvases and mind maps, and annotate PDFs — visual thinking without leaving your vault.
05
An AI assistant that knows your vault
Bring your own key for the provider you prefer. The assistant works across your notes, researches the web, and can even build a vault plugin from a plain-language request.
06
Learn from video and language
Watch mode docks a YouTube player beside a timestamped transcript that follows playback. Alt-click any word to translate it in place — ideal for language learners.
07
Capture from anywhere
Clip pages, videos and posts from your browser, share straight from Android, and pull Google and Microsoft 365 calendar events in as ordinary notes that join your journal and task views.
08
Multi-device sync, zero snooping
The app works locally without an account. Optional sync across your devices is end-to-end encrypted, and folder sharing stays under the owner's control.
09
Make it yours with plugins
Ask the assistant for a feature in plain language and it can draft a live vault plugin — or go deeper with the versioned developer kit below.
Connected services: multi-device sync, folder sharing and calendar integration are paid services, currently in closed beta. Join the waitlist from inside the app to get access to sync. Everything local is free.
Coming from Obsidian or Logseq?
Same files. Fewer plugins to hunt down.
- No import, no export. Point Thortiq at your existing vault — wikilinks, tags and frontmatter just work, and other tools keep working too.
- Batteries included. AI assistant, translation, YouTube watch mode, habits, flashcards and a web clipper are core features, not a plugin scavenger hunt.
- End-to-end encrypted sync. Optional and account-gated: the server relays encrypted revisions and never sees your notes.
Downloads
Work where your files live.
Download the app for Android, macOS, Windows or Linux, or use the browser app when that better fits your device.
Build for your vault
Extend it yourself — or just ask the assistant.
Describe the feature you want in plain language and the built-in assistant can draft a live plugin for your vault, with preview and rollback. Going deeper? The versioned developer kit ships types, schemas, templates, ten runnable examples and a coding-agent skill.
