Markdown editor / runnable notes

Notes that run.

Keedown is a fast, local Markdown editor for notes and runbooks. Run the commands in them on this computer or over SSH, and see anything from someone else before it runs.

Everything a runbook needs.

Write it quickly, keep it organised, run it where it belongs, and share it with confidence.

Write at the speed of thought

Type / for tables, callouts, task lists and boards. They render as you type and save as plain Markdown.

Review before anything runs

Commands from someone else are shown in full before the first one runs. Trust covers the exact text, so any change asks again.

Run it where it belongs

A built-in terminal, SSH profiles and locked terminals. Point a note at a machine and its blocks run there.

Find it again

Workspaces, nested groups and linked folders on one canvas, with a filter across the text of every note.

Share it as a signed PDF

Paginated PDFs with headers, footers and page numbers, previewed as they will print and signed with your certificate.

Work alongside agents

A local, token-protected API lets agents and scripts read and update your notes. What they write is yours to review.

See it in action.

A short tour, recorded in the app.
