A local-first desktop app for notes, meetings, todos, and projects — stored as plain markdown you own forever.
No cloud. No subscription. No lock-in.
Most note apps are black boxes. Your data lives on their servers, in their format, behind their paywall.
TrackMe is different. Every note, every meeting, every todo is a .md file in a folder you choose. Open it in any editor. Back it up with git. It's yours.
"The best file format is the one you can still read in 30 years." — That's markdown.
|
WYSIWYG markdown editor powered by Milkdown. YAML frontmatter for metadata. Fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting. Folder hierarchy. Everything saves automatically — no Ctrl+S needed. Recurring meeting series with a full RRULE-like recurrence engine (daily, weekly, monthly). See computed occurrences for the next 90 days. Native OS notifications 10 minutes before. Checkboxes that sync bidirectionally with markdown. Toggle |
Kanban boards with drag-and-drop. Columns for Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Done. Add, rename, delete — all stored as markdown with YAML frontmatter. See how your notes connect. Parses Visual diagramming with shapes, edges, arrows, and 8 color palettes. Drag, resize, pan, zoom. Organize into folders. Great for mind maps and architecture diagrams. |
