What Neoma is
Neoma is a notes app built around Markdown files, links, search, and publishing. Notes stay as plain Markdown in a folder you choose, and Neoma can work without a network connection. Search uses a local index, while the app also indexes links between notes and displays them as a graph. You can select notes and turn them into a static HTML site for hosting anywhere. The privacy policy says Neoma has no account, telemetry, or cloud storage, and that notes remain on your device. Remote images and video embeds are blocked by default, but can be enabled in Settings. Neoma is available on the web, macOS, Windows, Linux, and iOS; the homepage describes iPhone and iPad access as beta. The web app is free and open source under AGPL-3.0-or-later, while desktop and App Store editions are proprietary. The Personal plan is free; Team costs A$22 a month, and Institutional costs A$4,500 a year.
