Files.md

Files.md is a minimal, local-first note-taking application built around plain Markdown files. Unlike complex knowledge management tools, it focuses on simplicity and portability: there is no build system, no database, and no vendor lock-in. You open web/index.html in your browser and start writing.

The app supports notes, documents, projects, journals, habits, checklists, and tasks. All data lives in local .md files that you fully own. A Telegram bot provides on-the-go access, and the server is a single binary for those who want self-hosted sync. The project is deliberately small enough that a single developer (or an LLM) can understand the entire codebase.

Compared to Notion, Obsidian, or Evernote, Files.md trades advanced features for extreme simplicity and data ownership. There are no plugins, no graph views, and no AI workflows—just plain text files that work offline and sync via iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
