About Noteriv

Noteriv is an open-source, cross-platform markdown note-taking application built for writers, developers, researchers, and anyone who wants their notes in a portable, future-proof format. Notes are plain .md files stored on your filesystem -- no proprietary format, no cloud lock-in, no database.

Noteriv runs on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) via Tauri 2 and on mobile (Android, iOS) via React Native. Both platforms share the same file format and vault structure, so your notes work identically everywhere.
