Notes and PDFs, kept on your machine.
A calm writing surface and a split-screen PDF reader. Read sources, write linked notes — nothing leaves your computer.
Studio
Read and write in one place.
Import a PDF and Shelf pairs it with a linked note. Page through the source, write beside it, and pick up exactly where you left off.
Position, zoom, and layout are remembered per document. Continuous, single, and two-page reading modes. Flat memory, even in 800-page documents.
Editor
A surface that gets out of the way.
Slash commands, headings, checklists, tables, code, and rendered formulas — the blocks you actually use, without the cloud.
Paste LaTeX from anywhere and it becomes a rendered formula block. Export any page or tree as Markdown or JSON.
Privacy
Private by design.
Everything lives in SQLite on your disk, in formats you can export any time. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.
No servers holding your notes. No analytics requests leaving your machine. Your data is yours — on your computer, in formats you control.
Shelf is yours.
Free, MIT-licensed. Pick your platform and start writing.
