A home for every scattered thought.
Magpies collect the bright, scattered things and stash them somewhere safe. So does this. Magpie is a local-first notebook built for the way your mind actually works — catch a fleeting idea, a meeting note, a to-do, a half-formed plan, then shape the pile into something useful. Fast, private, and yours. Desktop and web.
Ideas arrive scattered and out of order — a thought in the shower, a task mid-meeting, a link worth keeping. Magpie gives them one calm home: a place to capture fast, nest loosely, and come back later to turn the pile into a plan. No accounts to set up, no syncing to babysit. Just open it and start.
Everything you need to catch a thought and carry it all the way to done.
Nested notes and labels for ideas, projects, and the in-between. Drag to reorganize whenever it clicks.
Inline checklists with due dates, owners, and pins — plus a roll-up that gathers every to-do under a project.
Rich text and Markdown, pasted images, and [[wikilinks]] that connect one note to another.
One click to tidy messy notes, draft an email, pull out the action items, or summarize a wall of text.
What's overdue, what's due today, what's gone quiet — gathered for you first thing each morning.
Local-first by design. Your notes live on your machine — fast, private, and there when the Wi-Fi isn't.
The same loop a magpie runs: grab the shiny thing now, sort it later, put it to use.
Open Magpie and dump the thought — typed, dictated, or pasted. No friction, no filing required up front.
Nest notes under labels, link related ideas, tag a project. Structure emerges as you go, not before.
Promote notes into to-dos, get your daily brief, and let one-click tools reshape notes into real output.
Magpie runs as a native desktop app and in the browser. Your data stays with you, so it's quick to open and yours to keep.
