Notes
Jalaran Notes is a split-screen Markdown editor with AI utilities that work on the exact passage you select, not the whole document.
Who Notes is for
For people who think in text and want their notes to stay text. If you have ever fought an editor that reformatted your careful indentation, or wanted to rewrite one awkward paragraph without an AI rewriting the nine good ones around it, this is built for that irritation.
What Notes does
Notes is a folder tree, a Markdown editor and a live preview, with AI assistance that operates on your current selection rather than the whole note. Highlight one paragraph and improve, summarize or translate exactly that. The preview renders KaTeX math and clickable line numbers, and runs inside a no-JavaScript sandboxed iframe — the rendered output cannot execute anything, which matters the moment a note contains text you pasted from somewhere else.
- Split-screen Markdown with live KaTeX preview
- AI improve, summarize and translate on the selection
- Twelve translation targets, each explicitly directed
- Preview is a sandboxed, no-JavaScript iframe
How Notes works
Organise into folders
A plain folder tree. Notes are Markdown documents, not proprietary blocks, so they stay readable outside Jalaran.
Write with a live preview
Split-screen editing with KaTeX math rendering and clickable line numbers that jump between source and preview.
Select, then assist
Highlight a passage and run improve, summarize or translate on that selection. The rest of the note is untouched.
Translate into twelve languages
Each language sends an explicit single-direction prompt rather than asking the model to guess what you meant.
What Notes does not do
AI assist is capped at 500 words per run, and the editor blocks the action rather than silently truncating your selection — a quietly shortened result is worse than a refusal, because you cannot see what went missing. Notes is single-player: there is no real-time collaboration, no comment threads and no shared cursors. It renders Markdown, not a WYSIWYG block editor, so if you want drag-and-drop page building this is the wrong tool and will stay that way.
Common questions
Why is AI assist limited to 500 words?
Because the honest alternative is worse. Beyond that the model starts dropping content silently, so the editor disables the action and tells you the count instead of returning a result that looks complete and is not.
Are my notes stored as real Markdown?
Yes. They are Markdown documents, so they remain readable and portable outside Jalaran rather than being locked into a proprietary block format.
Is the preview safe if I paste content from the web?
Yes. The preview is a sandboxed iframe with JavaScript disabled, so pasted HTML renders but cannot execute.
