Tektite

Minimalistic, lightweight Markdown knowledge base app for macOS and Linux — an Obsidian alternative.

Desktopfreeglobal

Tektite is an open-source, minimalist desktop app for macOS and Linux that provides a local folder-based Markdown knowledge base. It helps users who find feature-rich personal knowledge management tools unnecessarily complex by keeping the workflow to opening a folder and writing notes. It’s aimed at macOS and Linux users who prefer a simple, local note-taking setup rather than a plugin-driven ecosystem.
