At under 10MB with a Rust core, it avoids Chromium dependencies, ensuring fast startup and low memory usage as highlighted in the README.
Supports full Markdown with customizable colors and fonts, plus built-in Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams for technical documentation.
Automatically saves notes and restores state on reopening, with a tab-based interface for managing multiple notes simultaneously.
Allows exporting notes to PDF or Markdown files and importing .md files, facilitating easy sharing and backup workflows.
The macOS version is not code-signed, requiring users to run a terminal command to install, which reduces user-friendliness and could raise security concerns.

While it auto-saves locally, there's no built-in cloud synchronization, making it less ideal for multi-device access or collaboration.
