Hi, This is my first post here, pretty intimidating! haha
I shared this on reddit, and one of my community members told me this is a good place to also share it, so here we go!
A couple of months back I have built a checklist/note taking app for myself and called it rwMarkable, posted it on reddit and a lot of people seemed to resonate to it, so I kept adding new features and enjoying the small but very involved community that has built around it.
For anyone who hasn’t heard of the project before, here’s a quick bullet list of some features:
- Checklists: Create task lists with drag & drop reordering, progress bars, and categories. Supports both simple checklists and advanced task projects with Kanban boards and time tracking.
- Text Notes: A clean WYSIWYG editor for your notes, powered by TipTap with full Markdown support and codeblock syntax highlighting.
- Sharing: Share checklists or notes with other users or publicly with shareable links.
- File-Based: No database needed! Everything is stored in simple Markdown and JSON files in a single data directory.
- User Management: An admin panel to create and manage user accounts with session tracking.
- Customisable: 14+ built-in themes plus easy custom theme support.
- API Access: Programmatic access to your checklists and notes via REST API with authentication for various integrations.
- OIDC integration: Use any provider to authenticate, follow this tutorial on how to
There have been a lot of requests to change the name due to it sounding a little too close to reMarkable (the tablet - which, btw, i had no idea existed at the time lol) and after getting some amazing community suggestions we landed on jotty
.
You can find all the info (and a demo) here: https://jotty.page/

Let me know what you think, the app is very much still in development and every week new features get added (that said, I really value the simplicity and lightweight nature of it, so I will not add anything that compromises it).

p.s. Nice to meet you all <3
Hi! You can export already from the admin panel, regarding import i decided not to do it via the UI due to… well… a lot of complications involved with it and because the app does just read file/folders within the data folder you mount in the container. So just move your markdown files in the right folder and bob’s your uncle, they’ll be read and sorted automatically
Thanks for the reply! This honestly looks so good I just might have to finally learn how Docker works.
Hey, for as much as I genuinely think docker is the way to go for this kind of things you don’t HAVE to, you can just run it as a service, the readme has a manual install process on top of the docker one.
Also if you use proxmox there is a community script going around for ease of setup ♥️
