A Vim plug-in that makes it easy to create, edit, search, and navigate plain-text notes directly inside Vim. Notes are saved as files titled by their first line, with keyword search, tag support, and Markdown-style headers with folding.

Use cases

• take notes in vim
• create notes without picking filenames
• search my notes by keyword or regex
• link between notes like a wiki
• keep a todo note in vim
• find recently edited notes

When to choose

• you live in Vim and want notes without leaving the editor
• you prefer plain-text notes stored as files
• you want wiki-style hyperlinks and back-references between notes

When to avoid

• you want a GUI note app or mobile sync
• you need a maintained plugin - last release was 2021 and it has no license
• you use Neovim/Lua-only plugin ecosystems and want modern alternatives
