Beaver Notes is a local-first, markdown-native note-taking application for macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS. It emphasizes privacy with no telemetry or accounts, offering folders, tags, note linking, locked notes, and flexible sync options including self-hosted servers.

Use cases

• take private notes locally without an account
• sync notes across devices via my own server or cloud storage
• write markdown notes offline
• keep a journal that no one else can read
• replace proprietary note apps with an open-source alternative
• organize notes with folders, tags, and links
• lock sensitive notes with a password

When to choose

• you want local-first notes with no telemetry or vendor lock-in
• you need cross-platform support including mobile
• you prefer markdown files you fully control
• you want self-hosted or BYO-cloud sync options

When to avoid

• you need real-time collaborative editing
• you rely on deep third-party plugin ecosystems like Obsidian's
• you want built-in AI features or cloud handwriting/OCR
