SoloMD is a Markdown editor for writers, researchers and developers who want plain text notes with AI assistance. It combines a Typora-style writing interface with tools for searching a note collection and letting agents work on it.

  • Markdown writing: Edit with live formatting or a split source and preview view, include math and Mermaid diagrams, and export through Pandoc to PDF, Word or EPUB.
  • Search and linked notes: Find paragraphs by meaning with on-device semantic search that needs neither a network call nor a model download, and connect notes through wiki links and backlinks.
  • AI assistance: Rewrite, translate or summarize text with local models through Ollama, or use your own API keys for providers including OpenAI, Claude and Gemini.
  • Agents and MCP: Chat with your note collection, schedule agent tasks and review proposed changes before accepting them; the bundled MCP server also connects notes to Claude Code, Cursor and Codex CLI.
  • History and sync: Restore local AutoGit snapshots, sync through Git repositories or folder services such as Syncthing and iCloud, and optionally encrypt a vault before it reaches a remote repository.

SoloMD is free and open source under the MIT license. It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, with no SoloMD account required. Notes remain ordinary Markdown files in folders you choose. Editing and semantic search work offline; Ollama provides local AI, while cloud AI requests go directly to your chosen provider. Remote sync sends data to the service you select. Anonymous usage counts are optional. There's no plugin marketplace.
