The French Revolution, 1789

Causes I want to keep straight

  • Crown debt, bad harvests, Estates-General returning after 175 years — same beats as in .
  • Pull exact quotes into so the essay isn’t running from memory.
  • Use quick switcher ( K) to jump between this note and your source list.

App foundation

The writing surface behind the guides.

Plain text, always

Standard Markdown on disk. No lock-in — your files stay portable.

Linked notes

Wikilinks connect ideas as you write. A knowledge base that grows.

Backlinks

See what references the current note and discover forgotten connections.

Fast & focused

A minimal macOS interface that stays out of the way.

Linked thinking

Connect ideas without losing flow.

Type [[wikilinks]] to link notes together. Noute resolves them live — spend less time managing paths, more time refining thoughts.

Navigation

See where your notes connect.

Backlinks show every note that references the one you're reading — so you can revisit context and uncover connections you forgot.

Shell workflows

Use Noute from your terminal.

The desktop app ships a small CLI — open paths, search spaces, and append notes from scripts and launchers.

Terminal

$ noute search "roadmap" --limit 5
$ noute append ~/notes/today.md "Ship checklist"

Try Noute on your Mac.

Download, open a folder, and start writing in plain text — with links and search that stay local.
