Fig. 1 · Hybrid note
Local-first desktop workspace
One vault for notes, canvas, decks, tasks, and AI.
Zettly keeps notes, boards, decks, calendar, and tasks in one folder on your machine — write in Markdown once; wikilinks and AI stay tied to what you linked.
Zettly comes from Zettelkasten — Luhmann’s linked-note method: atomic notes, woven together. Why the name
The fracture
Five apps. Zero connection.
Notes, tasks, calendar, slides, and AI each live in their own app — nothing shares the same files.
The fracture
Every switch rebuilds context.
You copy links, re-open tabs, and re-explain the same idea — because nothing stays in sync.
The fracture
Your work is scattered across landlords.
Every app owns a slice of your thinking — and none of them share the same files on your machine.
The fracture
Productivity became a wall of tabs .
Notes, tasks, calendar, slides, and AI each live in their own app — every switch rebuilds context, and nothing stays in sync.
