About:
VNote is a modern, cross-platform note-taking application designed specifically for programmers and technical users. It provides a powerful Markdown editor with integrated preview, syntax highlighting, and robust file management for local markdown files. The tool focuses on a distraction-free writing environment while offering advanced features like Vim keybindings, diagram rendering, and seamless version control integration.

  • Dual-pane Markdown editor with live preview
  • Vim mode and keyboard-centric navigation

  • Git integration for version control
Use Cases:
  • Managing technical documentation and developer wikis
  • Writing software documentation with code snippets
