What is it?
Note Mark is a web-based notes app built around Markdown. It supports GitHub Flavored Markdown and offers a responsive interface that works on mobile devices, with dark and light themes. Notes can be viewed rendered or as plain text, and a shortcut-driven editor keeps writing fast.
Notes are stored in a standard file and folder structure, so your data stays in an open format you can back up, move, or read with other tools. Users can also upload and attach assets, share notes, and use friendly URLs for cleaner links.
The project supports OIDC for single sign-on, which suits self-hosted setups that already run an identity provider. The code is licensed under AGPL-3.0.
