For every type of thought<br>Documents, databases, kanban, canvas, slides, and automations — all built on markdown, all in one place.

Files that you own and see<br>Every file lives on your disk as plain markdown. No rented database, no lock-in — your work stays yours, even without us.

Agent-ready by design<br>Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and other agents read, edit, and act on the same files you do — directly, no exports.

Hybrid AI built in<br>Local models handle in-flow work like rephrasing and lookup. Frontier models handle the heavy lifting. Auto-mode routes between them.

AI beyond chat<br>Save workflows as routines. Trigger AI on workspace events. Let agents work in the background while you do something else.

31 words • 47 tokens • 10 second read<br>What is Hillnote?<br>Your notes, ideas, slides, tasks, plans, dashboards, databases, tools — with local or cloud AI that works with you. Stored on your machine. Saved as AI-ready files. And that'sjust the beginning..

An IDE for your thinking.<br>Documents, databases, kanban, canvas, and slides all share one plain-markdown source on your disk — so your knowledge garden grows in a format you actually own, not a database you rent.

Tour the workspace

Intelligence that runs on your machine, not the cloud.<br>Apple Intelligence and Ollama models live inside Hillnote for inline edits and quick brainstorms. When you need to go big, auto-mode hands off to a frontier model — small thoughts stay on-device, big ones get the right tool.

Meet your local peer

Your workspace, synced everywhere.<br>Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android stay in sync the moment you want them to — and the moment you don't, sync is off and your files stay home. You stay in control.

See sync on your terms

Your Agents work here.<br>Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and any MCP client read and edit your workspace as plain files — and a built-in CLI brings the same tools into Hillnote itself.

Connect your agents

Go beyond the workspace.<br>Drop in HTML tools, pull from npm, publish a workspace as a doc, blog, or site with its own domain. Extend the workspace as far as you need to take it.

Explore what you can build

Plain markdown on your disk<br>Documents, databases, kanban, canvas, and slides all share one markdown source you can read with any editor — no rented database, no lock-in.

Local AI, in flow<br>Apple Intelligence and Ollama models live inside Hillnote for inline edits, rephrasing, and quick brainstorms. Your small thoughts stay on-device.

Files that your agents can work on<br>Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and more read and edit your workspace as plain files — no exports, no proprietary schema.

An editor for all your thoughts<br>Type "/" for commands, [[brackets]] to link documents, and spin up scratch spaces for rough notes without breaking your flow.

Local MCP for privacy<br>A built-in STDIO MCP server exposes your workspace to any MCP client, so the tools you already use can act on your files.

Available for Desktop and Mobile.<br>Two surfaces, one workspace. Reach for whichever fits the moment — your files stay the same on both.

Desktop<br>The full workspace for deep, focused work, with everything you need to think through a problem in one place.<br>Learn more

No sign-up or credit card needed<br>Free and whole. Pay as you extend.<br>Hillnote treats data and service as separate parts. Your files stay local as plain markdown — you only pay for the cloud services you actually use.
