GitJournal is a mobile-first, open-source note-taking app that stores notes in Markdown with optional YAML headers inside a Git repository of your choice. It syncs via standard SSH with any Git host (GitHub, GitLab, or self-hosted), emphasizing privacy and data portability.
Use cases
- take markdown notes on my phone and sync them with git
- keep a private journal that syncs to my own git repository
- use my phone notes with obsidian on desktop
- self-host my notes instead of using google keep
- version-control my notes with full history
- link notes together with wiki links and backlinks
When to choose
- you want notes stored as plain Markdown files in a Git repo you control
- you need privacy and data portability without vendor lock-in
- you already use Obsidian, Foam, Notable, or terminal editors and want mobile access
- you want wiki links, backlinks, and a knowledge graph on mobile
When to avoid
- you want real-time collaboration or multi-user editing
- you prefer a hosted, zero-setup sync service out of the box
- you need rich WYSIWYG editing or heavy multimedia embedding
- you are not comfortable with Git concepts like remotes and SSH keys
