A fast, privacy-first desktop notes application built with Tauri, React, and SQLite. All data stays local on your machine.

• Markdown Editor — Write in Markdown with live preview, split view, and syntax highlighting (CodeMirror 6)
• Folders & Tags — Organize notes with hierarchical notebooks and color-coded tags
• Full-Text Search — Instantly find notes with SQLite FTS5 powered search
• Favorites & Trash — Pin important notes, soft-delete with restore support
• Dark / Light Theme — System-aware theme with manual override
• Keyboard Shortcuts — ⌘N new note, ⌘F search, ⌘D delete, and more
• Export — Export any note as .md file
• Configurable Storage — Choose where your SQLite database is stored

• Node.js >= 18
• pnpm (package manager)
• Rust (stable toolchain via rustup)
• Xcode Command Line Tools (macOS): xcode-select --install

brew install rustup
rustup default stable

# Clone the repository
git clone <repo-url>
cd mindlog

# Install frontend dependencies
pnpm install

# Run in development mode (starts Vite + Tauri)
pnpm tauri dev

The app window will open automatically once the Rust backend compiles.

pnpm tauri build

The installer/binary will be generated in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.

Passwall Notes uses SQLite with the following schema:

• notes — id, title, content, folder_id, is_favorite, is_deleted, timestamps
• folders — id, name, parent_id (hierarchical), sort_order
• tags — id, name, color
• note_tags — many-to-many relationship
• notes_fts — FTS5 virtual table for full-text search

By default the database file is stored in the Tauri app data directory. You can change the path in Settings (gear icon).
