HeaderNotes

A note in the rich editor, beside the note list and sidebar. Every note is a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose.

What is HeaderNotes?

Header is a native Mac app that works on a folder of plain Markdown files: local, iCloud Drive or Dropbox. Existing folders and Obsidian vaults open as they are, with no import step and no account.

Write in a rich editor or raw Markdown, link notes with wiki links and backlinks, and keep version history for every note. Record a call or meeting and get a note with a summary, decisions and action items. Plan the day on the Today page, add research sources by DOI, ISBN or arXiv and cite them as you write, and export to PDF, Word, HTML or PowerPoint.

AI is optional: your own provider, Ollama or Apple Intelligence. Meetings are transcribed on your Mac on macOS 26 or later, and no Header server receives your notes, audio or transcripts.
