Notes that are ordinary files you own.
Stillpoint keeps Daily notes, Markdown notes and a simple Board in a folder you choose, on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Windows. Answers to common questions are below.
Where are my notes?
In the folder you chose; Settings › Storage shows it. On iPhone and iPad: Files › On My iPhone/iPad › Stillpoint.
Can I use my Obsidian vault?
Yes. Choose the vault folder. Stillpoint adds only a hidden .stillpoint folder and does not move, rename or rewrite your files. Excalidraw drawings are shown read-only. Avoid editing the same note in two apps at the same time.
How do I choose the Daily notes folder?
Settings › Daily notes: pick any folder in your Workspace and the file pattern (YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md or YYYY-MM-DD.md).
What does “This file changed outside Stillpoint” mean?
Another app or a sync service changed the note. Choose Reload external version, Keep current version, or Save current version as a copy. Nothing is overwritten without your choice.
How does drawing work?
Apple Pencil draws on any note; your finger scrolls and places the cursor. The Ink button has the tools. Drawings are stored next to your settings, never inside the Markdown file. Scribble (handwriting to text) is off in Stillpoint.
How do I back up my notes?
Copy the whole Workspace folder (includes drawings), or use Settings › Download backup (notes and Board only).
Does the Mac App Store version remember my folder?
Yes. After you choose a folder once, Stillpoint reopens it automatically. If you move the folder, choose it again.
