Name: MinkNote
Rating: 4.0 (1 reviews)

MinkNote is a native macOS notes and journal app built on plain Markdown files you own. No database, no account, and no vendor lock-in. Organise work with projects, journals, tags, fast search, rich text or Markdown editing, and automatic image organisation in one private, local-first workspace.

plain markdown files as the source of truth, no database, no lock-in. I've moved between three different notes apps over the years and every migration was painful because the data was trapped in some proprietary format. being able to just point Finder or grep at your notes folder and know exactly what's there is worth a lot on its own.

sync conflict handling is still fully delegated to iCloud, which works but isn't graceful, two Macs editing the same note offline can end up as a renamed duplicate file rather than a real merge. a built-in diff/merge view for conflicting notes would go a long way before I'd trust it as my only notes app across multiple machines.

Thanks for the fair review @omri_ben_shoham1 - point taken about handling sync conflicts, this is something I'll be focusing on in upcoming updates. A nice diff view is something I'd really like to offer and would be such a useful feature.
