Versions:
Zorite is a local-first outliner and daily-journal note application published by packetThrower, currently at version 0.11.0, the latest of five released versions. Designed in the Logseq style, the software combines an infinite-scroll journal of daily pages with linked [[wiki-link]] pages, giving users a connected note-taking environment built around chronological journaling and bidirectional linking. All content is written in Markdown and stored in a local SQLite database, which keeps note data portable, structured, and fully under the user's control. Zorite is cross-platform and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it suitable for users who work across different operating systems or who prefer a consistent note-taking setup regardless of their desktop environment. The application supports embedding and annotating PDFs, dropping in images, and searching across the entire note collection, so it accommodates both plain-text journaling and richer, document-oriented workflows such as research, reading annotation, and reference management. A defining characteristic of the software is its local-first design: there is no cloud service, no account requirement, and no external synchronization dependency, meaning that all notes remain on the user's machine. This makes Zorite a relevant choice in the note-taking and personal knowledge management category for users who prioritize privacy, data ownership, and offline availability, as well as for those familiar with Logseq-style outlining who want a similar workflow without relying on hosted services. Typical use cases include keeping a daily journal, maintaining a personal knowledge base of interconnected wiki-style pages, organizing Markdown notes in an outliner format, annotating embedded PDF documents, collecting images alongside written notes, and retrieving information through full-text search across the whole database. With its combination of daily pages, wiki links, Markdown authoring, media embedding, and local SQLite storage, Zorite targets users seeking a self-contained, privacy-respecting environment for long-term note keeping and structured writing on their own hardware.
