From Recording to Writing

Conventional note-taking applications typically don’t provide recording functionality. Users need to manually copy and paste content for recording, which greatly reduces efficiency. When faced with scattered recorded content, it requires significant effort to organize.

NoteGen is divided into Recording and Writing pages, with the following relationship:

Recordings can be organized into notes and transferred to the writing page for in-depth composition.
During writing, you can insert recordings at any time.

Recording

The recording function is similar to an AI chatbot, but when conversing with it, you can associate it with previously recorded content, switching from conversation mode to organization mode to arrange recordings into a readable note.

The following auxiliary features can help you record more effectively:

Tags to distinguish different recording scenarios.
Personas with support for custom prompts to precisely control your AI assistant.
Clipboard Assistant that automatically recognizes text or images in your clipboard and records them to your list.

Writing

The writing section is divided into two parts: File Manager and Markdown Editor.

File Manager

Supports management of local Markdown files and GitHub synchronized files.
Supports unlimited directory hierarchy.
Supports multiple sorting methods.

Markdown Editor

Supports WYSIWYG, instant rendering, and split-screen preview modes.
