About Znote AI
What is Znote
Znote is a clean, local Markdown editor that works with your .md files. It includes AI that can answer questions based on your notes, and code blocks that can run JavaScript or Node.js to query databases, call APIs, or parse files. The output appears inline in your note. The app is free, works offline, and requires no account. It is built by one indie developer and has been featured on Product Hunt.
Key features
AI in your notes: Use @ to reference notes or templates, and / to trigger prompts. The AI answers inline, with no chat window. Runnable code blocks: Write JS/Node code, press play, and see charts, tables, or other output inline. MCP support: Connect to tools like GitHub, Postgres, Slack, and Linear using the Model Context Protocol. The AI can query, search, or create items, and results are saved in your note. Plain Markdown: Your files are stored locally as .md, so you can open an Obsidian vault as-is.
Use cases
Meeting summaries: Ask the AI to summarize a meeting note and extract decisions and action items. User stories: Turn a brainstorm into a user story using a template. Data analysis: Run a code block to query a database and render a chart. CSV cleanup: Parse and filter a CSV export, displaying the result inline. Standup briefs: Use MCP to fetch open PRs and commits, and draft a standup update. Database queries: Ask questions in English, and the AI writes SQL and returns a table.
Pricing
The app is free to download and use, with all features included. You get free AI requests to try. For unlimited AI, you can purchase a one-time Pro license for €29.90. This allows you to bring your own API key from OpenAI, OpenRouter, or use local models with Ollama. There is no subscription, and a 14-day money-back guarantee is offered.
