Its treeview composes folders from anywhere on your disk into one workspace, without moving a single file. A beautiful, minimalist alternative to Notion and Obsidian.",

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is Znote free?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes — the app and every feature are free, with no license to buy. The AI runs on your own key (OpenAI, Ollama, OpenRouter): you connect it once and pay your provider at cost, or nothing at all with Ollama running on your machine."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How is it different from Obsidian or Notion?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Znote is a focused Markdown editor with four things built in: AI that answers from your own notes, code blocks you can run, MCP servers that connect your real tools, and git to version the whole vault — output appears inline, in the note you are writing. No plugins, no cloud, no subscription. And since it's all plain .md, your Obsidian vault opens as-is."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Do I need an API key to use AI?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes. The AI features need a key you provide — OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Ollama for a fully local setup. Znote walks you through it on first launch. Your models, your privacy, no markup, and nothing to buy from us."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Where are my files stored?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "On your machine. Plain .md files in folders you choose. No cloud, no account, no telemetry by default."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is MCP and what can I connect?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI use real tools. Declare servers in your vault — GitHub, Postgres, Slack, Linear, your filesystem, hundreds more — and your AI blocks can query, search and create through them. The config format is the same as Claude Desktop, and the servers run locally on your machine."
