    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    Private, quiet space for thinking. Simple app for .md files.

    All in plain .md files, local-first. LLM-friendly. Private - your data stays at your device.

    Try it out: app.files.md (Beta). Main site: files.md.

    You can use this app for Second Brain, Zettelkasten, Notes, Journaling, Tasks, Checklists, and more.

    Own your data as plain local files. Own the software that opens those files. Grow your personal workspace with files. Grow the software around it with an LLM. Local files and owned software last ages.

    I have been building this project for 5 years. Consider supporting on GitHub 💚.

    P.S. For now, Chromium-based browsers (like Chrome, Brave) are best at File System API support.
