Daily for macOS
A journal that's just a markdown file. Plain text you can read anywhere, forever. No database. No sync. No company that might disappear.
The tool I use must be so simple that it could not be broken, and so open that it could not be owned. — File Over App philosophy
Evernote pivoted. Notion might get acquired. Your favorite note app could shut down tomorrow.
But a .md file? That's just text. You can open it in Vim, VS Code, TextEdit, or something that doesn't exist yet. In 2054, your grandkids can still read your journal.
Daily is not the product. Your file is the product. We're just a nice window into it.
Your notes don't just sit there. Claude Code reads them and sends each thought to where it belongs.
Free-form notes in your daily file. Ideas, tasks, learnings — anything goes.
Click → and Claude Code parses your notes. It detects intent, extracts data, identifies destinations.
Tasks go to OmniFocus. Vocabulary to Anki. Specs to Linear. Automatically.
One note becomes multiple actions across your tools
Open Daily and today's section appears — pre-filled with your calendar events and OmniFocus tasks. Start your day with context, not a blank page.
Every day lives in the same document. Scroll through weeks, months, years of your thinking. Search with grep. Version with git. The file is yours.
Click → and Claude Code reads your notes. It extracts tasks, creates Anki cards, files Linear issues. Your thoughts flow to the right systems automatically.
Built with Tauri, not Electron. 8MB app, instant launch, minimal memory. Sits in your menu bar, ready when you need it.
Free. Local. Forever readable.
