NoteGen is a cross-platform Markdown note-taking application that combines quick capture, structured writing, and AI-assisted organisation.
It’s designed around the idea of collecting information first, such as thoughts, voice recordings, screenshots, links, images, files, and todos, then turning that material into clearer notes, summaries, reports, articles, or reusable knowledge when you’re ready to write.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Capture text, voice recordings, screenshots, images, links, files, and todos in one place.
- Generate structured Markdown notes, summaries, reports, and drafts from selected records.
- Includes a Markdown editor with support for tables, diagrams, math, outlines, search, and export tools.
- Chat with notes, records, and knowledge base content using configurable AI providers and models.
- Stores notes locally as Markdown files and syncs through GitHub, Gitee, GitLab, Gitea, S3, or WebDAV.
