What NoteGen is
NoteGen is a cross platform AI note taking tool focused on recording and writing. It supports screenshot, illustration, text, and AI conversation recording, so a capture can arrive in whatever form is easiest at the moment. A clipboard assistant listens to the clipboard and asks whether you want to save what you just copied, text or image. An AI assistant then helps turn those raw records into organized text. The built-in Markdown editor supports a toolbar, image hosting, Mermaid diagrams, and KaTeX formulas, notes are stored locally offline, and synchronization runs through GitHub private repositories. Global search and writing assistance such as continuation, translation, and optimization round out the feature set.

- Organize records into structured Markdown documents.
- Sync to a GitHub private repository and search everything at once.
Who it is for
- Students recording and reviewing class material.

What to watch out for
Pricing is not clearly stated in the listing, so check the project page for current terms before you depend on it. GitHub sync needs an account and some setup, including a private repository, which is more friction than a typical cloud note app. Initial configuration takes effort: choose your storage location, set up sync, and get used to the recording methods before the tool feels natural. The project also depends on continued maintenance, so check how actively it is developed. And because notes live on your own machine, backups are your responsibility until sync is configured.
