Vault
Notes, tasks, and weekly reviews in plain Markdown files you own — with fuzzy search that finds anything in milliseconds.
What it does.
FeaturesYour notes are files. Full stop.
Every note is a plain .md file in a folder you choose. Edit them in Vault, in VS Code, on another machine — they’re yours, and they render everywhere Markdown does.
Todos that live inside your notes
Any checkbox line in any note becomes a task. Vault collects them into one view with due dates and done-states — no separate task silo to maintain.
Start every note ahead of blank
Meeting notes, weekly reviews, project briefs — define a template once and stamp it out with today’s date and your placeholders filled.
Structure without folders-of-folders
Inline #tags cut across your folder tree. One note can live in a project, a review cycle, and a reading list at once — without copies.
Milliseconds to anything
Type a few characters and Vault finds the note, the heading, or the line — across a thousand files, faster than you can finish the thought. The index is local, obviously.
A ritual, not a resolution
A guided weekly review walks your open tasks, recent notes, and stale projects — then writes the summary as a dated note. Fifteen minutes, every Friday, compounding.
How your data lives.
Open formatsVault doesn’t import your notes into a database — it works directly on a folder of plain .md files you choose. Frontmatter is optional, the format is standard Markdown, and the folder is yours to sync, back up, or grep.
No proprietary database. No export fee. No account standing between you and your own files. If Vault disappeared tomorrow, this folder still works.
Fair questions.
FAQAre my notes stored in a database?
No. Your notes are plain Markdown files in a folder you choose. Vault keeps a local search index for speed, but the files themselves are the source of truth — readable by any editor.
Can I use Vault with an existing folder of Markdown files?
Yes. Point Vault at any folder of .md files and it indexes them as-is. Nothing is converted, moved, or renamed.
How do I sync notes between machines?
However you like — the vault is just a folder, so any file sync you already trust works. Vault itself never syncs anything and never sends your notes anywhere.
Is there a subscription?
No. Vault is a one-time purchase when it launches. Bug fixes are always free; major version upgrades are a separate purchase. No account, no recurring billing.
Does it work offline?
Yes, completely. The only network request Vault can make is an optional check for updates, which you can turn off.
