A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes - chroxify/haptic

This seems like a solid choice for those of use looking for a obsidian-like replacement. Personally tried all editors out there, but nothing is able to defeat my love for obsidian. However, i look forwards to trying out Haptic when it comes to Linux. Currently it only supports Web and Mac. But state Linux and Windows support is on-the-way.

Kudos to selfh.st that provides consistent updates within this community and who shared this among other cool projects this week -> https://selfh.st/newsletter/2024-09-06/?ref=this-week-in-self-hosted-newsletter

If you’d like to learn more about Haptic, why it’s being built, what its goals are and how it differs from all the other markdown editors out there, you can read more about it here.

As others have noted, the app doesn’t work on mobile yet. Anybody willing to share the content here for mobile users?

Why Haptic

We built Haptic to make markdown writing simpler and more accessible. We believe that many existing editors are too complex for simple use cases and day-to-day note writing, so we decided to fix that.

What Makes Haptic Special

  1. Ready to Use: Open Haptic and start writing. No setup needed.

  2. Simple Design: Clean interface so you can focus on your writing.

  3. Write Anywhere: Use Haptic on any computer with internet. Great for public or work computers where you can’t download software.

  4. Made for Everyone: If other editors feel overwhelming, you’ll like Haptic.

  5. Open Source: Self-host your own instance, giving you full control over your setup.


Haptic is all about making writing easier. We’ve left out extra features to keep things simple and help you get your ideas down without fuss.

Note: If you’re looking for a markdown editor with plugin systems, complex setups, or feature-packed interfaces, Haptic might not be for you. But if you want something straightforward that just works, give Haptic a try!
