HelixNotes is a local markdown note-taking app that stores notes as plain .md files on disk with no database and no account required. It includes a WYSIWYG editor with slash commands, tables, code blocks, KaTeX math, a task aggregation view, wiki-link graph, and daily notes. Built with Rust and Tauri rather than Electron, it supports optional WebDAV sync, version history, and optional local or key-based AI features.
