What is Intessika?

Intessika is a local desktop app for notes that have to live next to real files. Point it at a new empty folder. Nothing is imported or converted: Markdown, rich text, spreadsheets, sketches, PDFs and Office documents sit in that tree as ordinary files.

Markup a client PDF or an Office doc without changing the original. Capture text, links and images to Inbox, then file them when you know where they belong. There is no Intessika account and no Intessika cloud. Sync the folder yourself with Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Syncthing if you use two machines.

Public beta 0.1.57 (13 September 2026) for Windows 10/11 and macOS 12 or later (Apple Silicon). Personal use is free during the beta and after release. Uninstalling app does not take your folder with it.
