Blinko is an open-source, self-hosted AI-powered card note-taking app for quickly capturing and organizing fleeting thoughts. It uses RAG-based natural language retrieval over your notes while keeping all data stored locally for full privacy and ownership.

Use cases

  • self-hosted note taking app with AI search
  • capture quick ideas and fleeting thoughts
  • search my notes with natural language
  • private alternative to flomo or memos
  • markdown notes with RAG chatbot
  • own my notes data instead of cloud services

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted notes app with AI-powered retrieval and full data ownership
  • you prefer plain text/Markdown storage with fast capture
  • you want an open-source alternative to flomo or commercial note apps

When to avoid

  • you need collaborative multi-user document editing like Notion or Outline
  • you don't want to run an LLM/embedding setup for AI features
  • you need offline-first mobile sync without a server
