Noteworthy is currently in development! I work on Noteworthy in my free time, so progress comes in bursts. I hope to have a public beta available for release before January 2022.
Noteworthy (https://noteworthy.ink/)
A free, open-source, local-first Markdown editor built with ProseMirror.
- Works directly with your local files, entirely offline.
- Write your notes in Markdown, with syntax extensions like citations and block directives.
- Build your own personal wiki with bidirectional links.
- Excellent math support — seamlessly transition between source and rendered math, thanks to KaTeX and prosemirror-math.

If you notice an error in the feature comparison table, please file an issue and I will correct it.
Building Noteworthy
Noteworthy is NOT quite ready for use. However, you can follow these instructions if you really wish to run it.
git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:benrbray/noteworthy.git
cd noteworthy
npm install
npm run dist
After building, look in the /dist folder for an executable.
Acknowledgements
- Thanks to Marijn Haverbeke for developing ProseMirror!
- Thanks to Hendrik Erz for keeping Zettlr open source! When I started developing Noteworthy, I had no clue how to set up an Electron app or responsibly interact with the user's file system from Node, and the Zettlr source was a great reference.
- Thanks to Microsoft for keeping VS Code open source! I learned a lot by reading the source of the VS Code tree viewer and plugin system.
- Thanks to Fabio Spampinato for releasing the source to an early version Notable!
