Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built Lorem as a place to keep everything I write and collect for years — not just until the next app comes along. So every note is a plain Markdown file on your own device, and the app around it is designed to be pleasant to use every day. What makes it different • Your files are the app's data: Notes are plain Markdown. A collection is just a folder, and each row is a note with its properties in frontmatter. Open your library in Finder or any text editor and everything is readable. • Collections built in: Text, number, select, date, checkbox, image and formula properties. Views include table, list, gallery, masonry and cover flow, each with its own filters and sorting. A Linked Collection merges several collections into one view. • Write without the clutter: Markdown symbols step aside as you type. Type / or @ to pull in blocks, notes and collections. Renaming a note updates every mention of it. • Collect anything: Paste or drag in photos, links, videos and files. Images are compressed and saved beside the note, and links become preview cards. • Find it again: Fast search, backlinks, and daily notes that keep a running log of your days. • Undo goes beyond text: Deleting, moving and duplicating files can all be undone, and every note keeps a version history. • Local and private: Everything stays on your device and works offline. iCloud sync covers macOS, iOS and Windows. I'd love to hear how you organize your notes, and what would make Lorem your daily archive.
