Obesian Oats
A cross-platform Markdown note workspace for web and desktop, built around plain files, Git-backed storage, local folders, AI indexing, and optional access.
What it does
is a note-taking workspace built around plain Markdown rather than a proprietary database. Notes can live in repos, local folders, or desktop-backed storage, while the app provides a richer workspace on top.
It runs in a browser, in a mobile web shell, and as a desktop build, and the bias throughout is that your notes should outlive the app.
Technical shape
A application with a desktop layer and a Web Awesome interface system, plus AI indexing over the notes and MCP access so an can read the vault directly.
The workspace is more than an editor. Vaults and cabinets organise storage, templates and quick-add flows cover getting text in, and the AI index is something you manage rather than something that happens to you.
File ownership
Everything follows from file ownership. Notes are Markdown files and repositories are storage units, so version history and portability come free from Git, and the AI indexing sits on top of files you could walk away with tomorrow.
Current state
Active. Recent work has been on speech output, model lists, and better error messages.
