## Capture without interrupting your thoughts
An idea may begin as a sentence, a voice recording, a screenshot, or a link you do not have time to read yet. You should not have to choose a title, folder, and structure before saving it.
NoteGen separates capturing from organizing.
Save information as it appears. Later, select the records that belong together and organize them into a structured Markdown note. You can then review the result, add your own thinking, and continue writing.
The goal is not to let AI write everything for you. It is to make sure useful fragments do not disappear before you have time to turn them into something complete.
## How it works
Save a thought, voice recording, screenshot, image, link, file, or todo while it is still fresh.
Filter records by tag, time, or type, then select the items that belong together.
Choose a template or describe what you want to write. NoteGen can organize the selected material into a summary, report, article, or another Markdown structure.
Review the draft in the editor, change the structure, add details, and continue writing in your own words.
## What this looks like in practice
## Built around Markdown files
Your written notes remain ordinary Markdown files in the workspace you choose.
You can edit them with NoteGen, open them with another Markdown editor, keep them in Git, or move them without exporting from a proprietary format. NoteGen adds recording, AI, search, and organization around those files instead of replacing them.
The editor supports:
## AI when it is useful
NoteGen connects to the AI providers and models you configure. You can use different models for chat, writing, embeddings, image recognition, OCR, and audio.
AI can help you:
AI is part of the workflow, but the result remains editable. You decide what to keep.
## Search and reuse your own material
A note should remain useful after you finish writing it.
NoteGen can build a searchable knowledge base from your files and combine semantic retrieval with local text search. You can use a note, a group of records, or the knowledge base as context in a conversation instead of copying everything into a new prompt.
For advanced workflows, NoteGen also supports:
## More than a document editor
NoteGen includes a canvas workspace for material that is easier to understand visually.
You can create and edit:
Canvas elements remain editable after they are created, including content suggested by AI.
## Sync on your terms
Notes are stored locally first. When you need them on another device, you can sync through services you already use.
Supported options include:
You can also keep local backups without enabling cloud sync.
