Plain files on disk
Your vault is a normal folder — markdown, HTML, SQL, Python, whatever you use. Back it up, sync it, or open it in any editor.

Local-first
Notes that stay real files — not another walled garden.
Leaflyte is a desktop vault for people who want Obsidian-style linking and search, a proper editor, and AI that reads your folder — without giving up ownership of your data.
macOS 11+ and Windows 10+. Installers are free — no signup required.
AI that knows your vault
Ask questions across your notes, tag files with @, and preview AI edits in the editor before you approve them.
Built for focus
Tabs, quick switcher, backlinks, and read/edit modes for markdown and HTML — without turning your notes into a database.
Yours from day one
Pick a folder, name a workspace, and start writing. No subscription, no sync vendor, no export anxiety — just files you already understand, with a UI that respects them.
