Note: For other platforms (Windows/Linux), you will need to build Yana from source.

Yana is a simple, open-source, markdown-based note-taking app designed for people who just want to write. In a world full of bloated note-taking applications with endless plugins and proprietary formats, Yana stays out of your way.

• Markdown as the Source of Truth: Standard markdown syntax. No proprietary blocks. Your notes remains yours, readable anywhere.
• No Plugin Overload: Features that matter are built-in. No more wasting time browsing marketplaces.
• Fast & Lightweight: At ~12MB, Yana is light on resources and fast to open.
• Open Source: Licensed under MIT. Clone it, fork it, make it yours.

• Bun (Recommended) or Node.js

First, install dependencies:

bun install
