Skein Notes
About
Skein keeps your vault as plain Markdown in a folder on the Mac or in iCloud Drive, and reads and writes those files directly, so nothing is locked in a database and any other editor can open the same folder. Notes link to one another with double brackets, spread out on a canvas, and feed a local graph you can put questions to. Written in Swift and AppKit, 14.2 MB, and it needs macOS 14 or later.
