Znote

two things, done well

An editor that thinks and runs.

Everything else is a clean Markdown editor. These two are what make Znote different — the AI lives in your notes, and your code blocks turn data into results, inline.

01 · AI inside the editor

Ask the AI right in your notes.

No second app, no chat window. Write the idea the way it comes out — the AI reads your file as context and writes the result inline, right where you wrote it.

02 · run code on your data

Turn a code block into a chart.

A JS / Node block queries your data, shapes the rows, and renders the result — a chart, a table, anything — inline, in your note. Press play, see it.

anatomy

What lives in a .md file?

Your notes, your AI's context, and your code — all in one plain Markdown file.

01

Readable by your AI

Reference a folder, a note or a code block with @. The AI reads it as grounded context — no hallucination.

02

Editable by you

It's Markdown. Add context, tweak a prompt, run a script. Your file, your rules.

03

Yours forever

Plain .md files on your disk. Share them, back them up, open them in any editor. No cloud lock-in.

# Weekly report — week 18

Reviewed onboarding metrics with the team.

← Markdown prose, like always.

@analytics/onboarding-funnel.md

← @references — your AI reads files & blocks as context.

```ai

Write a 3-bullet summary of @onboarding-funnel.

```

← AI block — calls your model with the @context above.

```js

const data = await db.query(...)

barChart(data)

```

← JS / Node block — runs locally, returns inline output.
