Plainva is an open-source, local-first editor for plain Markdown notes — the notes stay yours.
Your notes are ordinary .md files in a folder you control. Open an existing Markdown vault (Obsidian-compatible, including .base databases) straight from your own cloud storage — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV/Nextcloud or S3 — and sync freely between desktop and mobile. No subscription, no lock-in.
• Plain Markdown — every note is a readable .md file you own, forever
• Your own cloud — sync over storage you already have; nothing runs through our servers
• Free sync — desktop ↔ mobile, at no extra cost
• Fast editor — live preview, wiki-links, backlinks, slash commands, tables, callouts
• Databases (.base) — turn folders of notes into tables, boards, calendars and more
• Knowledge graph — see how your notes connect
• Privacy-first — no account required, no tracking, no ads
• Open source (AGPL), available in 10 languages
Plainva also runs on Windows, macOS and Linux — the same vault, everywhere, over your own cloud.
