Calmd

A calm notes interface for developing or retrieving the current thought without exposing the size or structure of the collection.

Current application

Calmd is a Tauri 2 desktop application backed by a portable Markdown vault. It includes:

• A blank composer with ranked literal retrieval while typing
• Literal match highlighting in result titles and excerpts
• Exact-title handling that opens an existing note instead of creating a duplicate
• Rust-owned create, read, save, and coordinated rename commands with conflict-safe Markdown writes
• A rebuildable schema-version-2 SQLite/FTS5 trigram index with concise excerpts and derived backlinks
• A minimal full-page CodeMirror Markdown editor with automatic saving
• [[target]] and [[target|display text]] links with modifier-click open-or-create navigation
• Application-owned Back, Forward, and Home navigation gated by successful saves
• An on-demand backlinks popover
• Responsive light and dark styling

Markdown remains the source of truth. Internal links identify top-level Markdown filename stems case-insensitively. Paths, headings, blocks, embeds, multiline links, links in code, and ambiguous case-folded targets are unsupported.
