# Glyph

> Glyph is an offline-first desktop notes app for macOS built with Tauri, React, and TypeScript. It combines markdown editing, AI chat, and local-first data storage.

Glyph is designed for people who want a fast, offline-first notes app that doesn't compromise on features. Your notes live in a local folder as plain markdown files, giving you full ownership and portability. No cloud sync, no servers, no vendor lock-in.

## Key Features

- **Markdown-First Editing**: TipTap-based editor with standard markdown, wikilinks, slash commands, and syntax highlighting
- **Local-First AI Chat**: Multi-provider AI chat (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, Codex) that runs locally with your notes as context
- **Wikilinks**: Connect notes with `[[wikilinks]]` for bidirectional linking and knowledge graphs
- **Task Management**: Inline tasks with checkboxes, due dates, and a dedicated tasks pane
- **Database Notes**: Structured data views with table and board layouts
- **Daily Notes**: Automatic daily journal entries
- **File Tree**: Hierarchical file browser with drag-and-drop, folders, and file previews
- **Attachments**: Embed images and files directly in notes
- **Tags & Search**: Full-text search and tag-based organization
- **Keyboard Shortcuts**: Extensive keyboard-driven navigation

## Tech Stack
