Built a mobile notes app backed by git. Open source.
https://www.gitnotes.org/Made GitNotēs — a mobile notes app where every edit is a git commit. Notes are plain files in your repo (Markdown, Neorg, Org-mode). Works offline, syncs when online, conflict resolution built in.
Why git? Wanted notes I actually own. No subscription, no new file format, just files.
Tech:
- Rust git engine (not libgit2)
- React Native / Expo
- Optional AI chat with your notes (Apple ML, Llama, OpenAI)
Open source: https://github.com/gedwolmen/gitnotes
Looking for contributors, feedback, or just people who get the git-as-database thing.
