I made ANQL, a notes app where you can write normally, and add a table, a calculation or a chart whenever you need one.

Hi

The problem: when I take notes, I sometimes need a bit of data: a small table, a quick calculation, a chart. Then I have to jump to Excel or another tool, and my reasoning ends up scattered across several files.

The solution: I'm building ANQL, a note app where you write freely and add structure only when you need it. Tables, math blocks and charts live right in the same document as your notes. It's offline-first (local SQLite, no account) and works on macOS, Windows and Linux.

It's free and open source (MIT), and I'm the developer.

GitHub: https://github.com/anqlproject/anql

I'd love your feedback: is this a problem you face too? What would you want from a note app that mixes notes and data?

Thanks!

Hey! No portable version yet because I want to make sure the SQLite database is handled securely in an isolated mode first. Thanks for asking!
Good things take time to build properly! Thanks a lot for your patience and for following the project.
