About Note Gen
NoteGen is an open source, cross platform AI note taking app built around the idea of capturing first and organizing later. It stores notes as plain Markdown files, so they can sync across devices through services such as OneDrive or iCloud Drive.
Everything enters one stream of records: text, voice, screenshots, images, links, files and tasks. Users filter and organize them only when needed, using collapsible tag groups. When writing a report, article or project document, they select the records they need and AI helps organize, connect and turn the material into notes, articles, diagrams and canvases. An assistant can search records, canvases and previous notes, and write results back as Markdown files. Storage is local by default. The site also describes routes for connecting Codex and Claude Code.
It is aimed at people who collect a lot of loose material, such as researchers, students and writers, and who want an AI workspace that keeps their files in an open format. Desktop apps are offered for Windows, macOS and Linux, with mobile apps for Android and iOS.
The site states there is no subscription or account and that all core features are free. Users can support the project voluntarily. Signing up for the model access offered through NoteGen is shown to give US$1 in trial credit and a first top up offer, and no other prices are published.
