About note.md

note.md is an all-in-one research workspace designed for macOS, focusing on academic synthesis. It provides tools for literature management, structured writing, and seamless integration of sources. Users can organize, read, and bookmark academic sources, capture ideas, and develop them into well-structured articles, with direct linking and citing of sources within their writing. The platform emphasizes a minimalist design to promote deep focus and structured thought. The tool features a Reading Studio for intentional reading with side-by-side PDF and note editing, and smart citation generation. For knowledge management, it allows importing scientific papers, managing sources by topic, and offers automatic indexing of figures, charts, and tables (Premium). A Graph View visualizes connections between articles and sources, with Neo4j support. Its unique Semantic Search (Premium) uses local AI models to find relevant passages by meaning, ensuring data privacy. The core philosophy is intentional design, using Markdown for portable and future-proof data storage, and ensuring user data remains local and private.
