A Markdown notes app for notes that link themselves.

Real Markdown, with a live preview

Every note is standard Markdown with optional YAML frontmatter — no proprietary blocks, no lock-in. A CodeMirror editor sits next to a preview that renders the moment you type: KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, syntax-highlighted code blocks, and GFM tables. Prefer a clean source view? The editor stands on its own too.

Wiki-links, backlinks, and transclusion

Type [[ and note titles autocomplete; link any note to any other in a keystroke. The Inspector quietly shows every note that links back to the one you’re reading, so connections accumulate without bookkeeping. Embed a whole note inside another with ![[note title]] to compose longer documents from smaller, reusable pieces.

Find anything, instantly

Full-text instant search covers your whole vault in milliseconds — including OCR text read from image attachments, so a screenshot’s words are searchable too. Hierarchical tags and notebooks keep things tidy, and version history means you can diff and restore any earlier draft.

Frequently asked questions

Does NoteLace support wiki-links and backlinks?

Yes. Type [[ to link a note (titles autocomplete) and backlinks appear automatically, showing every note that points to the current one.

Can it render math and diagrams?

Yes — the live preview renders KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, syntax-highlighted code, and GitHub-flavored Markdown tables.

Is my Markdown portable?

Completely. Notes are plain Markdown with optional YAML frontmatter, and you can export your whole vault to .md files whenever you like.

Can I embed one note inside another?

Yes. Whole-note transclusion with ![[note title]] embeds a note’s content into another, so you can build larger documents from reusable parts.
