Hi Product Hunt, I'm Lovre. Valutorio is a free Markdown notes app for Mac and iPhone that opens the vault you already keep, wikilinks and backlinks included. Nothing gets imported or converted. Point it at a copy of your vault, look around, delete it if it's not for you. Sync ($5.99 / €5.99 a month) keeps your notes the same on Mac and iPhone and gives your AI a personal MCP endpoint to read and write them.
I've been writing software for 20 years, and earlier this year I released Editorio, a free Markdown editor for the Mac. Valutorio is the notes app I built next, on the same Rust engine. On my M1 Max my 2,000-file test vault indexes from cold in 892 ms, search shows first results in 1 to 9 ms, and a 300 MB Markdown file opens in about 0.4 s. I haven't measured a 10,000-note vault yet; if you have one, tell me how it feels.
The app is free and everything that runs on your devices is in it. If you already sync the folder with iCloud Drive or Syncthing, you never need to pay.
Sync is for people who want me to run that part: a server keeps the vault identical on Mac and iPhone, and when two devices edit the same paragraph both versions stay in the note instead of a conflict dialog. The endpoint is one URL you add as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client, with a token only you hold. Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest.
Pro ($13.99 / €13.99 a month) adds an Assistant that answers from your notes and shows every change before it writes anything. Its answers come from OpenAI in the US, and nothing is sent until you switch it on.
What it doesn't have yet: plugins, a translated interface, and the graph on iPhone. I'm here all day for questions, and for anything that feels slow.
our docs are ~25 spec files plus a folder of like 200 tiny notes our agents keep, all plain md. "point it at a copy" is what gets me to actually try it tbh. do wikilinks resolve across subfolders, or just by filename?
Both. [[Note]] resolves by name from any subfolder, and [[Folder/Note]] works too. Two notes with the same name: shortest path wins, so use the folder form there. Tell me if your 25 specs trip it up.
@lovre_crncevic shortest path wins is a sane default tbh. thanks for the quick answer
congrats!! does it play nice if another notes app has the same folder open at the same time
Yeah, mostly. On the Mac, if another app edits a file, Valutorio picks up the change and re-indexes it. Two apps saving the same note at the same moment I haven't tested yet, so try that on a copy first.
does it work on an existing folder of .md files in place, or does it import them into its own library?
In place. It opens the folder as is: no import, no conversion, your .md files stay where they are.
Curious about the native call here. I build in Flutter and keep going back and forth on it, so what made you go fully native for Mac and iPhone as a solo dev?
Congrats, looks good and what is the difference between obsidian and valutorio?
The in-place part is what got me — I keep a lot of plain .md spec and planning notes in folders already, and I don't want another app that imports them into its own library. Opening the folder as-is, with wikilinks and backlinks on top, feels like the right trade-off. Curious how the graph holds up once a vault gets into the hundreds of notes — does it stay snappy on Mac?
