Your Markdown.
Your Machine.
Your Rules.
A note app that doesn't phone home, doesn't lock you in, and doesn't need an internet connection. Just you, your files, and Markdown.
v0.6.2 | macOS 13+ | Windows & Linux coming soon
Tools that get out of your way.
Markdown Sacred
Your markdown is never auto-modified. What you type is exactly what gets saved. No hidden transformations.
Plugin Ecosystem
8 built-in plugins with an extensible architecture. Load community plugins to make Readied yours.
Offline First
Works 100% offline by default. Optional cloud sync keeps notes across devices when you want it.
Your notes should live on your machine — not someone else's server.
Cloud note apps hold your data hostage. Readied takes a different approach: everything is local, everything is Markdown, everything is yours.
Your data never leaves
You write → Readied saves → plain .md files on your disk. No cloud.
No internet required
Everything runs locally. Write on a plane, in a cabin, anywhere.
Your data stays yours
Notes live in plain .md files on your filesystem. No cloud sync, no telemetry.
No vendor lock-in
Standard Markdown. Open your files with any editor, any time.
Open source
Every line of code is on GitHub. Audit it, fork it, contribute.

| Works Offline | Yes | No |
| Export Anytime | Yes | Maybe |
| Open Source | Yes | No |
| Vendor Lock-in | No | Yes |
Plain .md files. Open with any editor.

What developers are saying
Early feedback from our beta community.
Alex C.
Senior Developer
Finally a note app that respects my workflow. Plain Markdown, no sync drama, just works. Exactly what I needed.
Maria G.
Technical Writer
I switched from Notion and haven't looked back. Readied is fast, offline, and my files are just .md on disk. Love it.
James W.
Indie Hacker
The plugin system is surprisingly powerful for such an early product. Built a custom snippet plugin in an afternoon.
Yuki T.
Software Engineer
Open source, local-first, Markdown — checks all my boxes. The CodeMirror 6 editor is buttery smooth.
Sarah M.
Privacy Researcher
Zero telemetry, zero cloud. I audited the source. This is the real deal for people who care about data ownership.
Daniel P.
Full-Stack Developer
Cmd+P to jump between notes is addictive. I organize everything in Markdown now — meeting notes, journals, code docs.
Who's behind Readied?
Hi, I'm Tomy Maritano — a software developer from Argentina.
I built Readied because I was tired of note apps that held my data hostage in proprietary formats, required an internet connection, or disappeared when the startup behind them shut down.
I believe your notes should be plain files on your machine, readable by any editor, forever. Readied is open source, offline-first, and built to last — not to extract value from your words.
