GitJournal

Mobile first Markdown Notes integrated with Git·gitjournal.io

Visit

GitJournal is a mobile-first note-taking app that stores notes in Markdown and syncs them via Git, working with any Git hosting provider over standard SSH. It is designed to integrate with existing workflows rather than create a new silo, working alongside desktop apps like Obsidian, Notable, Foam and terminal-based tools. Notes can be linked with wiki-style [[links]], backlinks can be viewed, and a graph view is being developed. It offers multiple configurable editors and views, and is fully open source.
