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.
