acreom is designed specifically for devs and makes it easy to bring all relevant context in one place, create and track progress on your projects and capture stuff quickly.
it's local-first, all your data is stored on your device as regular markdown (no custom md flavor) and works fully offline.
the (optional) sync is free and E2E encrypted.

not unless these values are provided by technical decisions over policies or promises.
in acreom’s case, you own the software as well as your data and there’s not much we can do about it since we built it that way (local-first, offline with optional sync, e2ee, markdown without any acreom specific formatting)
> Would you also consider adding an outline view/toc? already supported!
I'll go ahead and do a shameless plug for an alternative built with similar philosophy around privacy & data ownership aimed at developers https://acreom.com
80% jobs are maybe a fit for a large established orgs while unthinkable for small teams solving hard problems with limited resources.
acreom is the integrated markdown knowledge base with tasks for developers. Our mission is to build one place you will love using for your dev context, from issues to your knowledge base.
We are looking for someone to help us grow acreom and deliver it to thousands of developers around the world. You are a creative and scientist in one who likes to learn. You like to create content, run growth experiments, learn from outcomes and engage with developers in various places from online communities to conferences.

https://acreom.com is a markdown knowledge base with tasks for developers. We're building a delightful and integrated interface developers love using alongside their code editors to organise their work.
We're looking for someone to help us deliver acreom to the hands developers at a global scale :)
reach out to me directly /martin at acreom dot com/ for more info.
It's not open-sourced yet (on our roadmap), but free in a large part, local-first (running on plain text .md files) and designed for quickly capturing stuff as well as accessing. Would love to get your feedback.
not necessarily if the data is stored in a proprietary format.
if anyone wants to try out mermaid in their own .md knowledge base we've built a smooth editor experience in https://acreom.com (no account required).
acreom is a developer-first knowledge base with tasks.
we're working on sync with Jira that we would love to get some feedback on. We are building it so you won't have to visit Jira again, and will be able to manage your single-player dev workflow in acreom (breaking down issues, tracking progress, knowledge base, documentation etc.)

We are building acreom to be the markdown knowledge base with tasks you will enjoy using as a developer.
Here are some key principles which make acreom different from other .md editors and note taking tools.
At the core of acreom lies its capture-first organise-later interface, allowing you to capture ideas, tasks and issues as well as access your knowledge base quickly. The mobile apps went through 24 iterations in beta to inherit this experience.
Secondly, our goal with acreom is to integrate markdown with tasks really well to make organising and tracking your development work easier. You can use it to capture tech knowledge base, create projects, break down large engineering tasks and track progress.
These interactions are now supported on mobile while you are on the go.
acreom started as a web app side project developed by a few friends. Last year we shipped an electron desktop app to make acreom local-first which we wanted for ourselves. Electron often gets bad rap for it's performance though we have put a considerable amount of effort to make the app fast, responsive and lean especially on large vaults. It turned out to be a great decision for us and allowed us ship faster.
The mobile apps take acreom one step closer to being a local-first software with sync and collaboration.
The mobile apps together with sync and desktop apps are free and acreom is interoperable with other plain text .md editors which makes
it easy to try it out. No account is required and there's no lock-in.
we would love to get your feedback.
