Many Notes is a self-hosted Markdown note-taking web application built in PHP, designed for simplicity. It stores notes both in a database and on the filesystem, supporting multiple users, vaults, collaboration, and OAuth authentication.

Use cases

• self-host a markdown note-taking app
• build a personal knowledge base with backlinks and tags
• collaborate on shared note vaults with multiple users
• import and export markdown vaults for backup
• export markdown notes to pdf
• run a private wiki on docker

When to choose

• you want a simple, self-hosted markdown notes app with docker deployment
• you need multi-user support with OAuth and vault sharing
• you want notes stored as plain files on the filesystem for portability
• you want a PWA-capable notes app with real-time collaboration

When to avoid

• you need a plugin ecosystem or heavy extensibility like Obsidian
• you prefer a local desktop app without a server
• you need rich WYSIWYG editing rather than markdown
• you want a mature, battle-tested product at large enterprise scale
