Dendron is a locally-priority, Markdown-based open-source personal information management tool that runs IDE integrated, such as VS Code and VSCodium. Inspired by programming languages and developer tools, it allows you to hierarchically organize large amounts of information and find it back efficiently. It allows you to manage notes with git, create diagrams with Mermaid, and build text-oriented compositions.
