A cross-platform Markdown AI note-taking software.
NoteGen is an open-source, cross-platform Markdown note-taking application built with Tauri and Next.js that organizes its workspace into three areas: a Recording space for capturing fragmented thoughts, screenshots, links, and clips; a Markdown editor with tables, diagrams, and math support for refining those fragments into structured notes; and an AI Dialogue panel for chatting with notes and a built-in knowledge base. The knowledge base uses RAG with vector indexing and hybrid retrieval, letting users query their own content directly. AI integration is handled through a configurable stack that supports MCP, custom models, memory, and agent workflows, meaning Claude or other LLMs can be wired in via the API layer to assist with rewriting, translating, and organizing content. Notes are stored locally as plain Markdown files and can sync across GitHub, Gitee, GitLab, Gitea, S3, and WebDAV. The app runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Writers, researchers, and knowledge workers who accumulate scattered inputs before shaping them into finished documents are the primary audience.

## Get Started
> Capture first, organize later.
NoteGen is an open-source, cross-platform note app that helps you capture rough information first and turn it into structured writing later.
It works like a capture inbox, Markdown editor, and AI assistant in one app. Save scattered thoughts, voice recordings, screenshots, images, links, files, and todos in one place. When you are ready, let AI organize those raw records into clear notes, summaries, reports, articles, or reusable knowledge.
## What Can NoteGen Do?
NoteGen is built around a simple idea: do not force yourself to write a perfect note at the moment an idea appears.
- 🧩 Capture anything quickly: text, voice, screenshots, images, links, files, and todos.
- 🧠 Turn messy records into organized notes: select records, choose a template, and generate structured Markdown.
- ✍️ Keep writing after AI helps: edit the result in a Markdown editor with tables, diagrams, math, outline, search, and export tools.
- 💬 Ask questions about your own material: chat with notes, records, and knowledge base content instead of starting from a blank prompt.
- 🖼️ Make images useful: save screenshots and images, run OCR or AI recognition, add descriptions, and reuse them in notes.
- 🔄 Work across devices: keep notes local as Markdown files and sync them through GitHub, Gitee, GitLab, Gitea, S3, or WebDAV.
## Use NoteGen For
- Meeting notes and class notes: capture fragments during the session, then turn them into a readable summary.
- Reading and research: collect links, screenshots, documents, and quotes, then ask AI to organize the material.
- Weekly reports and work logs: generate reports from recent records by tag, time range, or template.
- Personal knowledge management: keep long-term notes as Markdown files and chat with your own knowledge base.
## Typical Workflow
1. **Record first**: save a thought, meeting snippet, screenshot, webpage, document, or task without deciding where it belongs.
2. **Organize later**: filter records by tag, time, or type, then ask AI to turn selected records into a note, weekly report, draft, or summary.
3. **Write with control**: polish the generated Markdown, keep useful references and images, and export or sync when needed.
4. **Reuse your knowledge**: search, chat, translate, rewrite, or let the Agent help continue working with your notes.
## Powerful When You Need It
NoteGen keeps the everyday experience focused on recording and writing, while still offering advanced tools for heavier workflows:
- Local-first Markdown storage and workspace-based file management.
- AI chat, inline completion, translation, rewriting, summaries, prompts, memories, and Agent mode.
- Knowledge base search with vector indexing and hybrid retrieval.
- Configurable AI providers and models for chat, embeddings, OCR/VLM, audio, and more.
- MCP support for connecting external AI tools.
- Cross-platform desktop and mobile apps built with Tauri.
