Key Features - Quick Capture: A global keyboard shortcut lets you catch a thought without leaving your editor. - Plain Markdown Storage: Notes are stored locally as plain markdown files, making them easy to migrate and version control. - On-Device AI Search: Uses Apple's NaturalLanguage framework to run matching on your Mac, with nothing sent out. - Local Notes, No Account: Notes are stored locally, and no Stik account is required. - Open Source: The project is open source on GitHub under the MIT license. Who It's For Stik is suitable for markdown users, privacy-conscious users, note-takers, and macOS users, especially those who want to capture ideas quickly while keeping data local.
