After months of tinkering, I'm sharing Synapse: a free, open source notes app for macOS that opens any folder of markdown files, git-backed, with a built-in Claude Code-ready terminal
Genuinely useful for me to collaborate with others on commands, skills, agent instructions, etc, without all of the fiddly Git friction and BS. Just spin up a workspace, give people the invite link, evolve it, and export at the end. We can then maintain a source-of-truth around these docs and improve them over time.
Annoyed with paid services that charge you to bring your own API key (getvoila.ai), I partnered with Claude Code and made my own and open sourced it. Enjoy!
