Glyph

Glyph is a local first Markdown notes app for macOS with optional built in AI. It opens any folder on your Mac and reads and writes standard Markdown files, so your notes stay as plain files that any other editor can open. An iOS version is available through TestFlight. It is built for people who keep project notes, documentation and personal knowledge in Markdown and want a polished editor on top of their own folders. You can edit visually or in raw Markdown, link notes with wikilinks and see backlinks, and explore a connections graph of notes and tags. Frontmatter lets you turn a folder into a Kanban board or table. Split panes keep source material beside a draft, Quick Note captures a thought from anywhere, and Git sync commits and pushes on a schedule with per note history. The AI features are optional and can answer questions about your notes. The vendor describes it as not Obsidian, on purpose. The pricing section lists a one time payment with no subscription and a 7 day free trial. An early access price of $14.99 is shown against a listed price of $24.99. The app can be downloaded from the site or installed through Homebrew as a cask. Despite the registry category, this is a notes app rather than a coding tool.
