What is Binderus?

Binderus is a cross-platform desktop note-taking app that brings Notion-quality WYSIWYG editing to plain Markdown files stored locally on your machine. No account required, no cloud dependency, no subscription needed to use the full app.

Key highlights:

  • WYSIWYG Markdown editor with slash commands, inline formatting, and real-time preview
  • Multi-vault system: organize notes across separate vaults with drag-and-drop file management
  • Built with Tauri + Rust for a tiny footprint (~9 MB) and native performance
  • End-to-end encryption support for sensitive vaults
  • Mermaid diagrams and LaTeX math rendering built in
  • Full-text search across all vaults
  • Dark mode and customizable themes
  • Works completely offline — your files, your machine, your control
  • Available in English, Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese
  • MIT-licensed frontend (open source)

Designed for people who want the polish of Notion with the privacy and ownership of Obsidian. Free to use with optional Cloud Sync subscription coming soon.
