## What it is
Rote is a self-hosted personal note-taking application with a restrained, low-friction recording experience, Markdown article support, and an open API. It optionally adds AI features such as semantic search and chat over your own notes, powered by pgvector and disabled by default for admin control.

## Use cases
- self-host a personal notes app
- record quick notes with low mental burden
- chat with AI over my own notes
- search notes semantically
- export my notes without data lock-in
- write standalone markdown articles
- capture notes from any app via an open API

## When to choose
- you want full control and ownership of your note data on your own server
- you want optional AI memory/semantic search over your notes
- you prefer Docker-based one-click self-hosting with an open API

## When to avoid
- you need a fully managed hosted note service with zero setup
- you need rich collaboration or multi-user team wikis
- you cannot run PostgreSQL/pgvector or Docker
