Glyph with the file tree, a note open in the editor, and the AI chat panel

Install

Glyph runs on Apple Silicon Macs.

Homebrew

brew install --cask sidhuk/glyph/glyph

Manual: download the latest .dmg from GitHub Releases and drag Glyph into Applications. The app updates itself.

Official builds include a 7-day free trial, after which a one-time license from Gumroad is required. The source code is AGPL-3.0, so you are also free to build it yourself.

Features

Plain Markdown on disk — every note is a .md file in a folder you choose. Open it in any other editor, back it up however you like, leave whenever you want.
Rich editor or raw source — a WYSIWYG editor with tables, task lists, callouts, math (KaTeX), Mermaid diagrams, and code highlighting, plus a CodeMirror source mode with optional Vim keybindings.
Fast local search — a SQLite index keeps search and navigation instant without your notes leaving your Mac.
Spaces — keep separate folders of notes, each in its own window.
Tasks — checklists across all your notes, collected in one place.
Databases — table views over your notes and their properties.
Connections — a graph of how your notes link together.
Daily notes & Quick Note — capture first, organize later.
Excalidraw drawings — sketch diagrams right next to your notes.
Export — print or export any note to PDF or Word.
Git sync — optionally sync a space through your own Git remote.
Optional AI — chat with your notes using OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or drive coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex from inside Glyph.
Localized — English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Your data

Notes are ordinary Markdown files in the folder you opened as a space.
Space metadata (settings, AI history and API keys, caches) lives in a .glyph/ folder inside that space.
The search index lives in Glyph's Application Support folder. It is derived entirely from your notes and is safe to delete — Glyph rebuilds it.

Glyph has no cloud service and no account. Nothing leaves your Mac unless you turn on a feature that needs the network: AI requests go directly to the provider you configure, Git sync talks only to your own remote, and the app checks GitHub for updates and Gumroad for license activation.

Build from source

Requires macOS on Apple Silicon, Node.js 24, Vite+, Rust stable, and the Xcode Command Line Tools.
