README excerpt
# Morrow Morrow is a free, open source, local first workspace for your notes, databases and ideas. Every page is a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose. No account, no subscription and no cloud, and no AI unless you bring your own. Just a calm place to write and think, on your own computer. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a279710f-1a50-4f1a-82ff-17714cfe7641 ## Why Morrow - **Yours.** Your notes are a folder of Markdown files. Open them in any app, sync them with Syncthing, iCloud, Dropbox or git, and keep them forever. Edits made elsewhere show up in Morrow straight away. Nothing is sent anywhere: no accounts, no telemetry, no ads. It works with the network cable unplugged. - **Calm.** A focused writing surface with careful typography, and only the features that earn their place. - **Trustworthy.** Morrow only rewrites a file you changed in Morrow. Every change is saved as you type, failed writes are retried, earlier versions of every page are kept, a file changed elsewhere while you were editing is kept in page history, and deleted pages go to the system trash. - **Compatible.** Wiki links, callouts, tags, properties, maths and canvases use the same formats as Obsidian, so an existing vault opens as it is. Notion exports, databases included, import in one step. - **Everything built in.** Databases, canvases, graph, sync, encryption and flashcards come with Morrow, with nothing to install or configure. - **AI free unless you want it.** Morrow has no AI of its own and sends nothing anywhere. An optional assistant can be turned on in Settings with your own API key; it is off until you do. ## Features - **Pages** in a sidebar tree with icons, drag and drop, favourites and a trash - **A rich editor**: headings, lists, checklists, quotes, callouts with titles and folding, toggles, tables, columns, a table of contents, highlights, maths, syntax highlighted code, Mermaid diagrams, images, and audio, video and PDF files that play right on the page - **Date mentions**: type `@` for `@today`, `@friday` or any day, linked to that day's note - **Links**: `[[` to link pages, with aliases and headings, live titles, backlinks, links to pages that do not exist yet, and links that follow renames. Link to one block with `[[Page#^id]]` or a section with `[[Page#Heading]]`, or show just that part with `![[…]]`, the same way Obsidian does. **Copy link to block** in a block's menu makes one - **Databases**: table, board, calendar, list and gallery views of pages, with text, number, select, multi-select, date, checkbox, link, relation and formula properties, filters, sorts and grouping, checklist progress on cards, and inline databases shown inside any page. Row values are readable frontmatter, relations are `[[links]]`. Turn a folder of notes into a database in one step, with their frontmatter as columns - **Properties**: a page's frontmatter, like the properties of an Obsidian note, shown and edited at the top of the page.
