Why This Exists
Look, I just wanted a simple native app that allowed me to write Markdown and publish it to my static website. I couldn't find one, so I built it. If you're looking for the same thing, give Collected Notes a try!
Most note apps treat publishing like an afterthought. Email it. Export it. Copy-paste into some CMS. Collected Notes does one thing: turns Markdown into published posts. Native macOS and iOS apps. No web editor pretending to be native. Just write, hit publish, done.
Built for developers and writers who want their own site, not another platform. Your notes live in Markdown. Your site is static HTML. No lock-in, no proprietary formats. Export anytime. Or don't — the whole point is you're already publishing to your own domain.
So if you want a note-taking app that respects how you actually work — and doesn't try to be Notion — give Collected Notes a try. It's not for everyone. That's kind of the point.
Where Collected Notes was made—usually less tidy than pictured.
