## What it is
Files.md is a simple, local-first note-taking app that stores everything as plain .md files on your own device, with a chat-like flow for capturing thoughts. It is a Go single-binary server plus a browser app, with optional sync and a Telegram chatbot for on-the-go access.

## Use cases
- take notes in plain markdown files locally
- keep a private journal or diary
- manage tasks and checklists
- build a second brain or Zettelkasten
- capture quick thoughts via a chat interface
- sync notes across devices without the cloud
- access my notes through Telegram on the go

## When to avoid
- you need rich WYSIWYG editing or heavy formatting
- you rely on Chromium-incompatible browsers (File System API limits)
- you need multi-user collaboration or team wikis
- you want cloud-native sync with built-in encryption guarantees
