Eleven applications for thinking, writing and keeping track — all storing their data as files on your own disk, and most offering AES-256-GCM encrypted vaults for the notebooks you would rather nobody else could open.
Pick by how you actually work: NoteForge for a straightforward rich-text notebook, WikiForge if you want pages that link to each other, ZettelForge for a proper Zettelkasten with Folgezettel addressing, ResearchForge if you need sources, page-accurate excerpts and a cited manuscript at the end. Then MarkForge for serious Markdown, BookForge for eBooks that pass Kindle validation, JournalForge for a daily diary, ScratchForge for a notepad that does arithmetic, BoardForge for an infinite whiteboard, ReaderForge for a private read-it-later library, and StickyForge for notes stuck to your desktop.
$9.99 each, or all eleven in the Knowledge & Writing Suite for $54.99.
Whole categories in one ZIP — the same files, a fraction of the per-file price.
11 Windows applications for notes, research and writing.
App
A proper rich-text notebook that lives on your own disk: headings, checklists, tables, code blocks, callouts and images, organised into notebooks and sections, with full-text search and encrypted private notebooks.
App
Build a private knowledge base out of [[wiki links]]. Pages link to each other, backlinks appear automatically with context, a graph view shows the shape of what you know — and you can publish the whole thing as a static website.
App
A real Zettelkasten with Luhmann-style addressing. Notes get branching addresses like 1, 1a, 1a1 and are never renumbered, so links never break — with sequences, backlinks, citations and a serendipity panel that resurfaces old id…
App
Take a project from sources to finished draft: read PDFs in-app and capture excerpts that remember their exact page, cite them as you write, chart your data, and assemble everything into a cited manuscript exported to Word or PDF.
App
A private diary that opens straight to today. Rotating writing prompts, mood tagging, streaks, an on-this-day view of past years, an insights dashboard of mood trends — and a whole year bound into a print-ready PDF yearbook.
App
A serious Markdown editor with tabs, live preview, a command palette, regex find-and-replace, table tools, KaTeX maths and Mermaid diagrams — exporting to self-contained HTML, PDF and Word entirely offline.
App
Turn chapters into a standards-valid EPUB 3 that Kindle Direct Publishing will actually accept. It validates the book it just built, reports pass or fail against a strict KDP profile, and also exports print-ready PDF and single-f…
App
A notepad that does the maths. Type "rent = 1450" then "rent * 12" and the answer appears in the margin. Handles units, dates and currency, and a global hotkey drops a scratch buffer over whatever you are doing.
App
An offline whiteboard on an infinite canvas, with hand-drawn styling, pressure-smoothed ink and arrows that stay attached to the shapes they connect. Everything is vector, so boards reopen fully editable and export sharp at any s…
App
Strips the clutter out of web articles and keeps them in a library on your own disk. Includes a Chrome and Edge extension that sends pages straight to the desktop app over a local-only connection — no account, no server.
App
Frameless sticky notes that float above your other windows. Markdown with tickable checkboxes, any colour you like, reminders with real Windows notifications, and a board view that searches every note you have.
