Your notes and your terminal, side by side.
Notiq is a local-first markdown editor with a terminal built in. Write, preview and run AI CLI tools like Claude Code without leaving the window — and every note stays a plain .md file on your disk.
# Release checklist — v0.3
Ship the terminal panel refactor and the new vault picker before tagging.
Run pnpm dist:mac once signing is set up.
Built around notes and a terminal.
Local-first files
Every note is a plain .md file on your disk. No cloud, no sync, no lock-in.
Terminal built in
Run Claude Code, git or any CLI tool in a panel that sits right under your notes.
Split preview
Write markdown on the left, read the rendered note on the right.
Instant search
Jump to any note by title or content the moment you start typing.
Vaults, not accounts
Point Notiq at a folder and it opens as your vault. Nothing to sign up for.
Quiet updates
New versions install themselves in the background and stay out of the way.
From a folder to a workspace in four steps.
Open a vault
Choose any folder. Existing .md files appear in the sidebar straight away.
Write in markdown
Plain text with live preview — headings, code blocks, lists, the lot.
Drop to the terminal
Open a shell beside your notes and run Claude Code, git or scripts.
Stay entirely local
Files never leave your machine. Back them up however you already do.
Plain, local and quietly fast.
Plain text, forever
Notes are .md files you can open in any editor, with or without Notiq.
Nothing to sign into
No account, no cloud lock-in, no sync you didn't ask for.
A real terminal
The shell is a first-class panel, not a toy embedded box.
Out of your way
One focused window that stays quiet while you think.
Put your notes and your terminal in one window.
