rotbit / xedit
Local-first like Obsidian, polished like Notion. Free & open source: wiki links, slash commands, to-dos, local or cloud sync, and MCP for AI. Web + Mac.
Why this job: says: obsidian; topics: note-taking
What it does
- Two editing modes. Obsidian-style Live Preview (headings, bold, code and images render in place; the line under the cursor shows its source) or a side-by-side split view — switch any time
- Slash commands for headings, callouts, tables, to-dos, code blocks, images and video; search in Chinese, pinyin or English
- Obsidian-style callouts (> [!tip]), YAML frontmatter, footnotes, heading folding, $inline$ / $$block$$ math (MathJax) and syntax-highlighted code
- [[Wiki links]]. autocomplete by title, [[title|alias]], and renaming a note updates every link to it (there's no backlinks panel or graph view yet)
- To-dos and Today. - [ ] with @tomorrow, @10/20, a date range or @daily rolls up into a Today view; checking an item there edits the source line
