Tangent Notes

Tangent is designed to let you write the way you think.

Tangent Notes is designed to let you write the way you actually think—which is messy, connected, and full of tangents. Your thoughts aren't linear, so why should your notes be? Tangent lets you link to existing notes and create new ones with ease, following those natural connections your brain makes.

The whole philosophy is about embracing the way your mind works instead of fighting it. Let your mind wander along the path of interest. Don't suppress thoughts, embrace them. It's local-first, so your notes stay on your device, giving you complete control and privacy.

It's perfect for writers, researchers, or anyone who thinks in webs rather than lists. You can build a knowledge base that actually reflects how your brain connects ideas, not some artificial hierarchy. It's like Obsidian but with a focus on letting your thoughts flow naturally, following tangents instead of forcing them into folders. If you've ever felt constrained by traditional note-taking apps, Tangent might be your jam.
