About Hillnote

Hillnote is a writing tool that thinks alongside you, rich editing, document linking, and AI working right beside you as you write. Local, private, and yours to keep. Hillnote is where you craft your thoughts in notes, drawings, databases and plans, powered by AI that runs on your device (even when you're offline). No rented database, no lock-in, your work stays yours, even without us. Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and other agents read, edit, and act on the same files you do, directly, no exports.
