Project overview

Haptic is a local-first Markdown notes editor designed to keep notes and its database in the user's own environment. It includes a desktop application and a web version that can be self-hosted through Vercel or Docker. The project is still under active development: cross-device sync, note sharing, mobile apps, and Windows and Linux desktop support are listed as future work rather than current features.
