How to Keep Notes Stored Locally on Your Mac
Some users prefer keeping their notes on their own computer. Thoughts takes a local-first approach to note storage.
Your notes and settings are stored locally on your Mac.
Keep Your Notes Local
You can use Thoughts without creating an account.
This makes it useful if you want a lightweight note-taking app that doesn't depend on an online account for basic capture.
Use AI on Your Terms
AI features use your own supported API key.
This gives you control over whether and how you use AI with your notes.
