A calm Markdown vault for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Clarity Vault is a private, native notebook for capturing ideas, organizing Markdown notes, and keeping your knowledge base portable.
The story
Most note apps eventually ask you to choose between polish and ownership. Clarity Vault is built for the middle path: a real Apple platform app, backed by plain Markdown, with a workspace that feels fast enough to use every day.
It is for people who want a notebook that can grow into a knowledge base without losing the simple promise that their notes are still theirs.
Capture fast. Keep the files.
The core workflow is already in place: fast native capture, readable Markdown, rich previews, and enough structure for humans and trusted agents to work from the same vault.
Save from the places ideas happen
Bring in typed notes, Safari clips, share-sheet links, voice, media, PDFs, sketches, and imported files without turning capture into a chore.
Plain Markdown vaults
Open or create local and iCloud folders of Markdown notes, with attachments stored as portable vault assets instead of hidden database blobs.
A fast workspace for Mac and iPad
Use a native sidebar, tabs, editor/preview split, quick switcher, settings, scratchpad extraction, and iPad Pencil drawing.
Menu-bar notes and pop-outs
Create blank notes from the macOS menu bar, reopen recent notes, search quickly, or keep focused note windows outside the main workspace.
Previews, links, and media
Render headings, tags, wiki links, checklists, tables, callouts, code, math, and inline previews for images, video, and audio.
Structure without lock-in
Keep raw transcripts and files first, then opt into local or hosted AI organization and agent-safe vault access when it helps.
