Martin Koutecký · Local-first outliner for Logseq-compatible Markdown graphs.
Tine is a Writing & Notes app for Mac. It is free to use. It needs macOS 12 or later.
About
Tine is a local-first outliner compatible with Logseq Markdown graphs. It reads and writes the same journals, pages and assets, so the apps can edit the same graph one at a time without import or export. It provides linked notes, tasks, journals, search, queries, tabs, split panes, PDF annotation and static/live HTML export. Use your own file synchronization; built-in sync, whiteboards, flashcards and Logseq/Obsidian plugin compatibility are not provided. Free under AGPL-3.0 and developed by Martin Koutecký. This is pre-1.0 software: Linux is its primary tested platform, while macOS and Windows builds are newer. The recorded universal Mac package requires macOS 12 or later. Try a copy of an existing graph first.
