✨ Welcome to Znote

Think with AI. Keep the result in Markdown.

Znote turns ideas and AI conversations into structured documents—directly in local .md files.

Create your first document 💬

1. Replace the sample idea below with your own, or use it as written:

   Plan a neighborhood event that helps residents meet, share skills, and build stronger local connections.

2. Select the text above to give the idea as context

3. Press Ctrl+H to open the AI input.

4. Run /brainstorm.

5. Answer three focused questions.

6. Review and approve the structured Markdown summary before it is inserted.

Znote uses the active note or selected text as context, challenges and refines your idea, and asks for approval before adding anything to the document.

Keep developing your ideas ✨

Once the summary is inserted, continue working with AI directly in the document:

• Select text to shorten, rewrite, correct, or summarize it.
• Use /clarify to help answer questions and develop your thinking.
• Use /rewrite to intelligently reintegrate your answers and reflections into the document.
• Type @ in the chat to add another note as context.
• Copy a file directly into the input to link it.
• Ask AI to visit a URL and gather external information.
• Edit everything normally as standard Markdown.
