Why we built it
Most notes apps keep adding features until the writing gets lost. atiea does the opposite: one calm window, plain markdown you can take anywhere, and just enough structure (tags, links, search) to keep a large library tidy.
Who it is for
Writers, students, developers, researchers and anyone who wants a private, fast, markdown-first notebook on Mac. If you want heavy customization or team workspaces, see how we compare in our Obsidian and Notion guides.
