About
Griffel is a small Markdown reader and editor for GNOME. It opens a folder of notes and shows everything inside it in a sidebar, without the weight of a full knowledge base.
Features:
- Sidebar with the whole folder tree, updated live
- Editor with Markdown highlighting, autosave and find in document
- Rendered preview with tables, highlighted code and images
- Clickable [[wiki links]] between notes
- Quick search across file names and note contents
- New notes and folders, rename and delete from the sidebar
What's New
