NoteGen is a cross-platform AI note-taking application focused on recording and writing, developed based on Tauri.

The core philosophy of NoteGen is to combine recording, writing, and AI, with all three complementing each other. The recording function helps users quickly capture and organize fragmented knowledge. The organization function is the bridge connecting recording and writing, which can organize continuously recorded content into a readable note, assisting users in completing the creation process from scratch. If the AI-organized results cannot meet your requirements, you can use the writing function to refine it yourself.

Recording
Recording methods supported:

🖥️ Screenshot recording, through which users can quickly capture and record fragmented knowledge, especially in situations where text copying is not possible.
📄 Text recording, which allows copying text or manually inputting brief content as a record.
🖼️ Illustration recording, which can be automatically inserted into appropriate positions when generating notes.
📇 File recording, which recognizes content from PDF, md, html, txt, and other files for text recording.
🔗 Link recording (to be implemented), using web crawlers for page content recognition and recording.
📷 Photo recording (to be implemented), similar to illustration recording, calling the camera to record, suitable for future mobile use.
Auxiliary recording:

🏷️ Custom tags for better categorization and differentiation of different recording scenarios.
🤖 AI conversation, by default associated with records under the current tag, and you can also manually associate it with any article in your writing.
📋 Clipboard recognition, which automatically recognizes images or text in the clipboard after you copy them.
💾 Organization, when you have completed a series of records, you can try to let AI help you organize them into an article.
Writing
🗂 File manager, supporting management of files and folders in local and Github repositories, with unlimited directory levels.

Synchronization and Image Hosting
NoteGen supports offline storage, with all notes stored in Markdown format. To ensure the security of your notes, you can choose to synchronize them to a private Github repository. After configuring synchronization, Github image hosting functionality is also supported. Independent configuration for other image hosting services will be supported in the future.
