Honestly, "note app" is a stretch. What I wanted was a knowledge system modeled on PoIC, a Japanese index-card method that predated Evernote. I tried building it on Obsidian and other markdown tools for years and structured notes never stuck for me. I just wanted to talk into my phone and dump quick fragments, then have something extract knowledge and tasks out of them. LLMs and Claude Code closed most of the gap. Now journals, web clips, and daily deep-think sessions all land in it, and Claude Code semi-solves the tasks it pulls out. I'm probably ADHD and it seems to hit for that crowd. Most people would look at it and say "why not Obsidian" lol.

OSS, with the skill + CLI layer built around Claude Code: https://github.com/rillmd/rill

Mac app at https://rill.md/. Still very much in development. If you give it a spin, I'd love feedback either as a GitHub issue or right here.
