Create simple markdown notes in Raycast stored locally. No integrations required! Allows you to sync with a folder of your choice.
: πIf you'd like, you can export or auto-sync your notes as markdown to a directory to use in a 3rd-party app like Obsidian, VS Code, or Notion. This is completely optional though and notes will still save locally.
