What is Rook?
Rook is a note-taking app designed for coding. It features a minimalist interface and tools like syntax-highlighted code blocks, automatic language detection, and text search. It's ideal for developers, students, and others who work with code. The app is user-friendly, requires no signup, and stores all data locally on a Mac. The latest version supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI assistants to different tools. This feature is currently in beta and disabled by default.
Rook includes syntax highlighting for major languages, auto language detection, and smart paste capabilities. It supports markdown formatting and offers organizational features like a three-level hierarchy, full-text search, and quick preview. It has five themes optimized for code and supports import from SnippetsLab.
