Grimoire — a warm dark Markdown editor with sidebar, tabs, and backlinks panel

Local First

Your vault lives on your machine as plain Markdown files. No account, no server, no subscription required to write.

Wikilinks & Backlinks

Link notes with [[note name]] syntax. Every link is tracked bidirectionally.

Full-Text Search

Find anything across your entire vault instantly. Search by filename, content, tags, or wikilink references.

Split Panes

Work on two notes side by side, or open a live Markdown preview alongside your editor.

Tabs

Keep multiple notes open at once. Each tab maintains its own cursor position and scroll state.

Knowledge Graph

Visualize the connections between your notes. See clusters form as your thinking develops.

A grimoire is a book of collected knowledge — spells, observations, secrets accumulated over time. Your notes deserve to be treated the same way.
