history
Project history and usage
Beaver Notes is an open-source, local-first, Markdown-native notes application designed to work offline without requiring an account.
Project history
Beaver Notes began as a privacy-focused, local notes application built with Electron.
The project is rebuilding version 5 with Tauri to produce smaller binaries, improve native behavior, unify desktop and mobile development, and provide a foundation for collaboration, history, backlinks, and plugins.
Adoption history
Beaver Notes is available across macOS, Windows, and Linux, with the project also targeting Android and iOS. The project identifies AUR, Flatpak, Scoop, and Homebrew as package-manager distribution channels for stable releases.
How it is used
Users organize local notes with folders, labels, links, locked notes, and Markdown formatting. Synchronization is optional, with the project documenting user-controlled approaches rather than requiring a hosted account.
Why package nerds care
Its local-first storage, Markdown-oriented workflow, absence of a mandatory account, and cross-platform packaging make Beaver Notes relevant to users who value portable data and reduced vendor lock-in.
Timeline
- Electron era: Beaver Notes established its local-first desktop application.
- Version 5 development: The project began a ground-up Tauri rewrite with integrated mobile support.
Related projects
- Beaver Pocket: the former mobile application being folded into Beaver Notes version 5.
- BeaverSync: a planned optional synchronization service.
