Thortiq

One name. Two focused products.

Get what's in your head into shape.

Thortiq Outline is a lightning-fast outliner for plans, tasks and daily work. Thortiq Markdown turns a folder of plain files into a knowledge base with an AI assistant built in. Both are local-first, private and free to start.

Thirty-second answer

Which should I try first?

Two separate products. Use either on its own, or both together.

If you want to…

Plan, organise and get things done

Start with Outline. It opens in your browser in seconds — no install, no account — and captures ideas as fast as you can type them.

If you want to…

Build a lasting home for your notes

Start with Markdown. Your notes live as plain files in a folder you own — readable in any editor, compatible with Obsidian and Git, never locked in.

Different foundations. The same clarity.

01 / The fast outliner

Thortiq Outline

Notes, tasks, dates, tables and files all live on one infinitely nestable outline. Capture in seconds, structure as you go, and see the same idea from as many angles as you need.

  • Portals — a live, editable view of any branch, anywhere
  • As many panes as you like, with saved sessions and drag-and-drop
  • Turn any branch into an editable table with properties and filters
  • A Tasks pane that gathers every task — drag to reschedule
  • Quick capture with natural dates: “call Sam tomorrow” just works

02 / The knowledge base you own

Thortiq Markdown

A complete workspace — notes, journal, tasks, habits, canvases and flashcards — built on ordinary Markdown files in a folder you choose.

  • Built-in AI assistant — bring your own key, any major provider
  • Watch mode: study YouTube videos beside timestamped transcripts
  • Alt-click translation for reading in other languages
  • Web clipper, Android share sheet and calendar capture
  • Optional end-to-end encrypted sync — files stay portable
