NoteGen is an open-source, cross-platform, local-first Markdown note-taking app built with Tauri and Next.js that separates quick capture (text, voice, screenshots, links) from later AI-assisted organization into structured notes. It includes a Markdown editor, AI chat and agent, knowledge base with RAG, canvases, MCP support, and multi-provider sync (Git, WebDAV, S3, cloud folders, self-hosted).

Use cases

• capture quick notes and voice memos without organizing first
• turn scattered records into structured markdown notes with AI
• build a local-first personal knowledge base with RAG search
• sync markdown notes across devices via git or webdav
• chat with an AI agent that can read and edit my notes
• transcribe voice recordings into notes
• clip web pages and links to read later
• self-host my note sync service

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source, local-first markdown notes app with AI features
• you capture fragments (text, audio, images, links) and organize them later
• you need cross-platform support including mobile with multi-provider sync
• you want RAG-based knowledge base search over your own notes
• you prefer GPL-3.0 software with no subscription or account required

When to avoid

• you need real-time collaborative editing with multiple users
• you want a fully offline app with zero AI/network features
• you need a web-only notes app accessible from a browser
• you require enterprise compliance certifications or managed support
• you depend on command-based MCP servers on mobile, which are desktop-only
