Ito Notes · by Ito Studios
Your notes, tied together, on your own server.
Write in markdown. Link notes with [[wikilinks]]. Plan on whiteboards, sort with tables and boards, and let Claude read and edit alongside you. All of it runs on a server you own.

Features
Markdown and links
Plain markdown with wikilinks, backlinks, tags and full-text search. Export everything as files whenever you like.
Whiteboards
Infinite canvases of note cards, text and sections, saved as open JSON Canvas files.
Tables and boards
Grid, Kanban, gallery and calendar views over your notes. Supertags bring fields, a folder and a template.
Daily notes
A note for each day, with your calendar's events on it and reminders for what's due.
Claude, built in
Connect Claude over MCP, and it can search, read and edit your notes with the permissions you grant.
Graph and history
See how your notes connect, and restore any earlier version of a note.
Phone, tablet, computer
One app that installs on every device, with offline capture when the network drops.
Secure sign-in
No passwords: an authenticator app or a passkey, with lockouts and sign-in alerts.
Git sync and backups
Keep your notes as files in your own GitHub repository, and back up on a schedule, encrypted.
Host it yourself
One small container, one disk.
Ito Notes runs as one Docker container with its data on one disk.
- A VPS: your own domain and automatic HTTPS, set up in about 30 minutes.
- At home: Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, Unraid, or Docker Desktop on Windows and macOS.
- A platform: Render or Railway, from one blueprint.
Ito Notes is in beta. Git sync, scheduled backups and your own branding need a licence key, which is free during the beta.
