  1. mind.nvim

    Discontinued The power of trees at your fingertips.

    I use mind.nvim with markdown syntax. pretty neat. It's simple to setup and you can create a hierarchy of notes.

  3. zk-nvim

    Neovim plugin for zk

    I haven been using zk-nvim, which follows the Zettelkasten standard using markdown formatting. There are a couple of similar tools (e.g., nueron), but I have found zk to work the best.

  4. zk

    A plain text note-taking assistant

    Big fan of zk and zk-nvim. The biggest drawback was that link insertion depended on cmp, but now there's work to add linking as a direct LSP command. I've been using that since it's been merged in, and it makes creating and linking notes on the fly a breeze!

  5. obsidian.nvim

    Obsidian 🤝 Neovim

  6. mkdnflow.nvim

    Fluent navigation and management of markdown notebooks

    Did you see https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim/ mentioned here? I think that's the winner here (though I admit I have bias against even considering zettlekesten/zk merely due to its name: in computing we call that a wiki).

  7. orgmode

    Orgmode clone written in Lua for Neovim 0.11.0+.

    There is https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode which has been working pretty alright for my workflow. It even uses a org-mode treesitter parser for some capabilities.

  8. logseq

    A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.

    I wonder why nobody mentions Logseq? It supports org mode

  9. Kargo

    Stop Scripting Promotions. Start Shipping with Kargo. Kargo automates promotion across dev, staging, and prod with approval gates and verification. Open source, built by the team behind Argo CD. Download now.

  10. appscura

    Curated collection of productivity apps.

    I should probably add a special tag for this type of note taking in Appscura. Check it out, maybe you'll find an app matching your needs (hint: try #beta tag to filter tools that are now in early access)

  11. nb

    CLI and local web plain text note‑taking, bookmarking, and archiving with linking, tagging, filtering, search, Git versioning & syncing, Pandoc conversion, + more, in a single portable script.
