What Oxinot is

Oxinot is a free, open-source Markdown note-taking app for organizing notes in an outline. Its block editor supports nested blocks, Markdown formatting, keyboard shortcuts, and selecting or rearranging blocks. It works directly with Markdown files, displaying folders, files, and folder notes in an outline view. Search can find pages and blocks across a workspace, and a graph view displays page connections. Notes are stored as plain Markdown files on the user’s computer; SQLite is used to index them and support search. Oxinot is local-first and works offline, but it has no built-in cloud sync. Users can sync manually with Git or cloud storage. The app is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its file tree shows Markdown files only, and it allows one selected workspace at a time. Block references and backlinks are not yet implemented, and mobile is not available. Oxinot is licensed under GNU GPL version 3, which permits commercial use and requires distributed modifications to remain under GPLv3 with source access.

Good

  • Works offline with plain Markdown files stored locally.
  • Supports nested blocks and keyboard shortcuts.
  • Searches pages and blocks across a workspace.
  • Offers both outline and graph navigation.

  • Only one workspace can be selected at a time.
  • Backlinks and block references are not implemented.

Who it suits

Oxinot suits writers and other users who want local, offline Markdown notes arranged in an outline. It may also suit people comfortable managing their own sync and working within its single-workspace limit.

Verdict

Oxinot brings outline-based editing, workspace search, and graph navigation to local Markdown notes. Its main trade-offs are the lack of built-in sync, mobile support, and backlinks.
