Plaintext Longevity

Pure Markdown: Your Knowledge Belongs to You for Decades

Proprietary note-taking services store your life's work in opaque databases. If their service shuts down or raises prices, your second brain is trapped.

AliNotes stores your notes as standard .md text files directly on your local hard drive. Open them in VS Code, Vim, or any text editor thirty years from now with zero data loss.
