About:
FSNotes is a modern notes manager for macOS that operates on a local filesystem of plain text files. It provides a fast and flexible interface for organizing, editing, and syncing notes using popular version control systems like Git. This tool is ideal for developers and power users who prefer the simplicity and portability of text-based data.
Key Features:
  • Manages notes as plain text files (Markdown, RTF) in a local folder
  • Fast search and filtering across all notes
  • Full-text search with iCloud Drive and Git repository synchronization
  • Supports code syntax highlighting and inline image embedding
  • Keyboard-centric workflow and editor shortcuts
Use Cases:
  • Managing a personal knowledge base or developer documentation
  • Syncing private notes across devices via private Git repositories
  • Quickly capturing and organizing code snippets and technical ideas
Alternatives:
  • Obsidian – FSNotes uses a traditional folder structure, while Obsidian is built around a graph view and bi-directional linking.
  • Bear – Bear offers a more polished, proprietary UI, whereas FSNotes focuses on plain text portability and Git integration.
