Bangle.io is a browser-based WYSIWYG note-taking app that stores notes as plain Markdown files in a local folder of the user's choice. It is a progressive web app built with React and its sister rich-text editor library bangle.dev, requiring no install or signup and working fully offline.

Use cases

• take notes in a Notion-like WYSIWYG editor while saving as markdown files
• edit locally stored markdown notes in the browser without installing a desktop app
• keep a personal knowledge base with backlinks and folders that stays under my control
• work on notes offline and install the app as a PWA
• avoid vendor lock-in by keeping notes in human-readable markdown
• manage thousands of markdown notes with fast performance

When to choose

• you want Notion-style rich text editing but plain local Markdown storage
• you need a fully offline, no-signup web app you can install as a PWA
• you want to back up or version-control notes with git since they are regular files
• you have an existing folder of Markdown notes you want to edit in place

When to avoid

• you need real-time collaboration or cloud sync across devices out of the box
• you require a native desktop application rather than a browser/PWA app
• you need databases, kanban boards, or other Notion-style structured content beyond notes
• you want mobile-first note capture on phones
