[!注] 我构建ZenNotes时，借助了Claude和Codex等AI工具的大量帮助。它们让我进展更快，但我仍然会在发布前审查部分代码。架构、技术决策和权衡是我仍然花很多时间思考的。AI帮助我更快写代码，但它不能替代理解系统的工作原理。

ZenNotes 是一款以键盘为先的 Markdown 笔记应用，拥有共享的产品核心和多个运行时：

• 一款使用 Electron 构建的桌面应用
• 由 Go 服务器支持的自托管 Web 应用
• 基于同一Web/服务器栈构建的未来托管部署模式

ZenNotes将你的笔记保存为普通的Markdown文件。它增加了支持Vim的编辑、拆分和预览工作流程、任务、标签、归档/垃圾桶、图表、搜索、每日笔记、CSV数据库（Notion风格的表格+板视图覆盖在普通.csv文件上），以及在你已有文件基础上的MCP集成。 在macOS上，第一方zenCLI也支持启动器工作流，如Raycast扩展。

ZenNotes

[!NOTE] I build ZenNotes with a lot of help from AI tools like Claude and Codex. They let me move much faster, but I still go through some of the code before I ship it. The architecture, the technical decisions, and the trade-offs are things I still spend a lot of time thinking about. AI helps me write code faster, but it doesn’t replace understanding how the system works.

ZenNotes is a keyboard-first Markdown notes app with a shared product core and multiple runtimes:

• a desktop app built with Electron
• a self-hosted web app backed by a Go server
• a future hosted deployment mode built on the same web/server stack

ZenNotes keeps your notes as ordinary Markdown files on disk. It adds Vim-friendly editing, split and preview workflows, tasks, tags, archive/trash, diagrams, search, daily notes, CSV databases (Notion-style Table + Board views over plain .csv files), and MCP integration on top of the files you already own. On macOS, the first-party zen CLI also powers launcher workflows such as the Raycast extension.
