Most note apps bolt sync, versioning, and organization on top as separate systems you
have to trust. shiki builds all three on top of something you already trust: git.
⎇
Notebooks are real git repos
Not a database, not a proprietary sync format — each notebook is an independent git
repository from the moment you create it. Push it, clone it, inspect it with plain
git log, host it anywhere.
↺
Real per-note version history
Every commit that touched a note is browsable and revertible straight from the TUI —
because it's the actual git history, not a bolted-on versioning system that can drift
from what's on disk.
⌨
100% keyboard, fully remappable
Yazi-inspired modal navigation (hjkl, visual mode, leader key) with every
binding defined in config.toml. Nothing hardcoded except the basics.
⇄
Responsive 3-pane layout
Wide terminals get the full Notebooks / Notes / Preview layout; narrow or square ones
stack panels or collapse to a single focused view — no broken rendering at any size.
✓
Auto-sync, your way
Per-notebook policy for auto-commit and auto-push, robust HTTPS/SSH auth reusing your
system's own git credential store, and automatic fallback to the remote's real default
branch.
⟳
Self-updating, self-diagnosing
Check for a new release and install it without leaving the TUI. shiki doctor
diagnoses your setup — config, git, editor, terminal — even when the config itself is
broken.
