Obsidian Notion Joplin OneNote Evernote but self-hosted and data on your own S3/R2 bucket.

I'm just tired of all the note-taking apps. Why can't we have a PHP script and store everything in cheap object storage?

Life-time update source code, Docker and FTP deployment supported.

Fuck The Status Quo

A rebellion against bloated note-taking apps and their corporate bullshit

💀

No Database

Skip database bullshit. Using only SQLite for caching, delete it for clear cache.

🖕

No Docker? No Problem

Docker if you want it, but also deploy with simple FTP upload to your ancient VPS.

⚔️

Markdown or Die

The most universal and future-proof notepad format. Markdown is eternal.

🔥

Fuck JS Frameworks

Who need giga-shit of node_modules?
It's Vanilla PHP + jQuery, that's it.

🏴‍☠️

Highly portable and private

All the data is on your own bucket. No vendor-locking. The data is yours.

☢️

Apocalypse Ready

The code is easy to change, and use only ~30 MB RAM. WW3 compatible notepad.
