About rotli

This desktop application organizes notes as plain Markdown files stored inside a local folder you control. It renders tables, tasks, diagrams, and math dynamically while leaving the raw text editable. You can search the entire workspace instantly, connect notes using wikilinks, and organize your thoughts with an automated layout manager. To analyze your writing privately, you can connect locally installed artificial intelligence tools directly inside the interface.

Who is rotli for?

Writers, developers, and researchers who previously kept their ideas locked in proprietary cloud databases. Before finding this tool, they worried about data privacy, lost offline access, and the risk of notes disappearing if a service shut down. They want a quiet, keyboard-driven workspace where their files remain entirely theirs, accessible by any text editor.

How does rotli work?

You select a local directory on your computer to serve as your personal vault. Next, you write notes using standard Markdown, typing simple keys to search your vault and link files together. Finally, you run your choice of locally installed models to ask questions and chat directly with your notes offline.
