A Standard Notes alternative with wikilinks and a graph
Standard Notes pioneered zero-knowledge note encryption — and OriginText builds on that same principle while adding a linked-notes layer: [[wikilinks]], a live knowledge graph, and a full markdown IDE.
What’s the same
Both apps are built on zero-knowledge encryption: your notes are encrypted on your device before anything touches the network, so neither service can read your content. Your data is genuinely yours — you can export it any time. OriginText is also local-first, meaning notes are stored on your device and work fully offline, with or without a sync subscription.
What OriginText adds
OriginText is designed for people who want their notes to connect, not just accumulate. Type [[a note title]] to link any two ideas, and a live knowledge graph renders the relationships between all your notes in real time. A full markdown IDE with heading navigation, fenced code blocks, and table support rounds out the writing experience — so OriginText works equally well as a day-to-day writing tool and as a networked second brain.
Local-first, encrypted by design
Like Standard Notes, OriginText treats encryption as a first-class requirement, not an optional tier. Every note — including its graph relationships — is encrypted on your device before sync. See the local-first notes page for a deeper look at how on-device storage and optional sync work together.
