Neoma
What it is
Neoma is a notes app for Markdown files, links, search, and publishing. Notes stay as plain Markdown files in a folder you choose, and the app works offline. You can publish selected notes as a static HTML site for hosting anywhere, while Neoma’s local search index and note-link graph help you navigate your writing. The privacy policy says the app has no account, telemetry, or cloud storage, and that notes remain on your device. Remote images and video embeds are blocked by default but can be enabled in Settings. Neoma is available on the web, macOS, Windows, Linux, and iOS, with iPhone and iPad beta listed. The web app is free and open source under AGPL-3.0-or-later; desktop and App Store editions are proprietary. Personal is free, with all features and platforms and no account, limits, or expiry. Team is 22 AUD/user/mo and adds invoicing, a compliance pack, and priority support. Institutional is A$4,500 a year, for a faculty, hospital, or department seeking a site licence.
