The first published release of Noto.

This is an early build. The foundation — the editor, local storage on every
platform, and the release pipeline that produced these downloads — is in place
and working. Expect gaps, and expect them to close.

Highlights

  • Desktop applications for Windows, macOS and Linux, with automatic updates
    on Windows and macOS.
  • Web application that runs in the browser with nothing to install and keeps
    working offline once loaded.
  • Local-first storage. Documents live on your device — SQLite on the
    desktop, IndexedDB in the browser. No account, no server, no telemetry.
  • A rich text editor built on ProseMirror: headings, lists, quotes, code
    blocks and inline formatting, with autosave.

Known limitations

  • Mobile applications are not published yet.
  • Cloud sync is not enabled; packages/sync ships the contract and a local-only
    engine so it can be turned on later without a rewrite.
  • The installers are unsigned. Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper will
    warn on first launch until code-signing certificates are in place. Verify your
    download against SHA256SUMS.txt in the meantime.
  • macOS auto-update requires a signed build, so it does not work in this
    release. Windows auto-update does.
  • Windows ARM64 is installer-only and does not auto-update; a single Squirrel
    update feed cannot serve two architectures.

Verifying a download

Checksums for every asset are published as SHA256SUMS.txt.

sha256sum --check --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS.txt

Updating

Windows and macOS installations update themselves: Noto checks for a new version on startup, downloads it in the background, and applies it on the next restart.

On Linux, replace the AppImage or install the new .deb/.rpm through your package manager.
