Allied Note
Open the app

Early access ยท Phase 2 of 9

A notebook that starts from your goals.

Allied Note is an open-source notebook being built around one idea: what you write down today should connect to where you want to be in ten years. The hosted app is in early access. An embed for other apps and a repository you can run yourself are planned.

Powered by Nabu

Open the app See how it will work Status and roadmap

This is early access. You can sign in with an Allied ID, create notebooks, tabs and pages, write in them alone or with someone else at the same time, link pages together, search them, and export them as Markdown. A first planner works too: a Today button, goals and tasks. Nabu is not built yet. Most of this site describes what we plan to build. The status page says what works today.

Three layers, one notebook

Each layer is useful alone. Together they keep daily work pointed at long-term goals.

  • Layer 1Early access

    Notes

    Notebooks hold tabs, tabs hold pages, and pages nest three levels deep, with a rich text editor you can share a page in, search, and links between pages. That part works today in the web app. Attachments, desktop and mobile apps, and offline editing are planned.

  • Layer 2Early access

    Planner

    A tab for each quarter with a page for each week, and a goal cascade that runs from ten years down to today. Every quarter is twelve execution weeks and a Review and Plan week. The Today button and the goals and tasks screen work today. Settings, templates and the guided cascade are planned.

  • Layer 3Planned

    Nabu

    The agent that reads your notebook, ties tasks to goals, proposes a plan for the day and hands work to other agents you connect. It asks before it deletes, sends or delegates.

The goal cascade

Each goal points at the goal one step above it. A task with no goal behind it gets flagged, so you can link it, or decide it does not belong on the list.

  1. 10 years Where is this going?
  2. 3 years What has to be true by then?
  3. 1 year What moves that this year?
  4. Quarter Twelve weeks of work, then a review
  5. Month What matters this month?
  6. Week What will you finish?
  7. Today What comes first?

How the cascade and the thirteen-week quarter will work

Built to be plugged in

The rule for the codebase is that every capability exists in the public API first. The web app will be one client of that API among several.

  • API, MCP server and CLI Planned

    A REST API, an MCP server so your own agents can read and write notes, and a command-line tool.

  • White-label embed Planned

    Other apps will be able to put the notebook inside their product, styled as their own, with no second login. How the embed is designed.

  • Self-host and fork Planned

    Open source, with the whole stack runnable from one compose file. The license is to be announced. Open source and self-hosting.

Plain facts

What is true today, including the parts a landing page usually leaves out.

Availability
Early access in the browser at app.alliednote.com. Sign in with an Allied ID. There is no desktop or mobile app yet. The status page lists what works and what does not.
License
Open source, license to be announced. Until it is chosen, the code is all rights reserved and the repository is private.
Encryption
There is no end-to-end encryption, and version 1 will not have it. Connections to the app use HTTPS, but the server can read the content of your notes, because server-side search needs it, and Nabu will. A private mode with keys held on your device is planned for later.
Pricing
Not set. A free plan, low-cost paid plans and free self-hosting are planned. Two promises are fixed: we will never limit the number of notes, and we will never put export behind a paywall.
Importing
Markdown works today: a zip of Markdown files comes in as a new notebook. Importers from other note apps are planned. None exists yet, and we will name sources only when they work.
