One of the most requested MinkNote features here on Product Hunt was for MinkNote to automatically detect when notes are changed by other apps or AI tools.
It was actually the #1 request I received from the Product Hunt community.
MinkNote is a privacy-focused Mac app that keeps everything you write and collect in one place, organised and effortless to find again.
Until this week it ran on a 14-day trial, then all the notes went read-only. Two weeks is not long enough to know whether an app like this fits your workflow, so now it works the way most Mac apps you already use do:
MinkNote is a native macOS notes and journal app built on plain Markdown files you own. No database, no account, and no vendor lock-in. Organise work with projects, journals, tags, fast search, rich text or Markdown editing, and automatic image organisation in one private, local-first workspace.
Thanks again to everyone who supported the MinkNote launch 13 days ago. The feedback was really positive, and it s already changed what I m building next.
