This shouldn't take longer than 7 minutes
(12 minutes if you want to read the advanced stuff too)

What is Hillnote?

Hillnote is a local first, note-taking app designed to supercharge your AI workflow. Create notes and documents that are ready to be integrated with all of your favourite AI tools including but not limited to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Deep Seek, Perplexity, Cursor, Github CoPilot and more!

Hillnote also comes with Ollama built in, letting you run powerful local Large Language Models – like Gemma, GPT-OSS, Llama, Phi, and DeepSeek – directly from the app, even when offline. 🎉

Workspaces and file structure

Within Hillnote, everything is organised inside of a workspace document – you decide exactly where it’s stored. These workspaces contain both documents, formatted in easy-to-use Markdown (.md) files (which AI models and agents particularly favour!), and helpful resources like a readme and document registry, designed to streamline any AI agent’s work within the space.
