Blinko

Blinko is a self-hosted, open-source personal AI note-taking and idea capture tool built primarily in TypeScript and designed to keep your data private and under your control. It allows users to quickly jot down fleeting thoughts, draft content, and organize ideas with Markdown support, making it easy to record insights as they happen. What sets Blinko apart is its AI-enhanced retrieval — users can search their notes using natural language queries and get relevant results instantly rather than relying solely on keyword matches. Thanks to its lightweight architecture powered by Tauri and React, Blinko runs smoothly across platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile, while remaining responsive and efficient even with large notebooks. The project emphasizes extensibility and open collaboration, offering a plugin marketplace and documentation for developers to build and share enhancements.
