Every surface, in detail.

Idemora isn't three tools stitched together. It's one local-first app where notes, calendar, and goals actually talk to each other.

AI Action Layer

Idemora's AI confirmation gate, previewing a proposed change before it's applied

Full read + write access: The AI assistant reads, searches, and writes to your notes on command — not just answers questions about them.
Note operations: Create, rename, edit, and move notes from the chat panel.
Block-level precision: Insert or replace specific blocks inside a note, rather than rewriting the whole thing.
Calendar control: Create, update, and delete calendar events from chat.
Goal management: Create goals and update milestones directly from chat.
Confirmation gate: Every write action shows a preview before it runs. Nothing is applied without your approval.
Your own API key: AI features use a key you provide. Nothing is sent to any third party without your explicit instruction.

Notes

Idemora's block-level editor showing rich text, an inline @date chip, and mention-map links

Local-first architecture: All data stored in SQLite on your machine. No signup, no cloud, no vendor lock-in.
Rich text editor powered by TipTap: Block-level editing — headings, paragraphs, lists, code blocks, task checkboxes, tables. Drag-and-drop blocks. Subpages for nested note hierarchies.
Mention-map linking: Type @ followed by a note title to create an inline link. Idemora auto-maintains a mention map — no manual backlinking effort.
DOCX import/export: Open and save .docx files. Work in your local Markdown-first editor, then export for submission.
Full-text search: Instant search across all notes using SQLite FTS.

Calendar

Four view modes: Agenda (flat list), Day, Week, Month grid — switch freely.
Layers: Personal | Notes | Tasks | Goals | CDE — toggle layers independently to focus on what matters.
Personal events: Create, edit, delete. Title, date, time, duration, notes. Colour states: blue (scheduled), green (done), yellow (overdue), red (missed).
@date chips in notes: Type @tomorrow, @next friday, or @2026-06-01 in any note — Idemora creates a styled inline chip and registers a calendar event linked to that note.
Task → calendar sync: Drop a @date chip inside a task checkbox. Checking the box turns the calendar event green automatically.
Goal milestones on calendar: Milestones appear as point events. Goal banners span their date range on Month/Week views.
Daily Score widget: A circular SVG ring in the top-right corner showing today's completion fraction. Updates in real time as you check things off.
Midnight transitions: Overdue events auto-transition to yellow overnight. Resolve as done or missed each morning.
Recurrence: Daily, weekly, or monthly repeating events with end-date control. Edit one occurrence, all future, or the whole series.
Anti-gaming: Deleting an event on its due date still counts it as missed — prevents score manipulation.

Upcoming Deadlines, the moment you open the app

A single modal surfaces what actually needs your attention next — pulled live from your notes, calendar, and goals, not just one of them. No digging across three views to figure out what's due.

Goals

Full CRUD: Create goals with title, description, start/target dates, category, milestones.
Status sections: Active | Upcoming | Completed | Missed | Unresolved — auto-sorted by date and colour state.
Evidence linking: Link notes and task checkboxes as proof of progress. Weight each piece of evidence to reflect its importance.
Automatic progress computation: Progress = verified evidence weight / total evidence weight. Hits 100%? Goal turns green automatically.
Milestones as calendar events: Every milestone appears on your calendar on its date.
Frontmatter bootstrap: Notes with date + status frontmatter fields auto-create or link to goals. One-click bootstrap scans all existing notes.

Graph & Linking

Idemora's force-directed graph view showing notes as connected nodes, with a heading-structure preview open on hover

Force-directed graph view: Every note and every link between them, laid out automatically — a live map of how your thinking actually connects, not a folder tree.
Hover to preview: Hover any node to see that note's heading structure without leaving the graph. Click to open it directly in the editor.
Backlinks panel: See every note that links to the one you're viewing, automatically maintained — no manual backlinking effort required.
Search-and-highlight: Full-text search (SQLite FTS5) reaches into the graph itself — matching notes highlight in place, so you can find a note by content and see exactly where it sits in your vault.

Search

Full-text search: SQLite FTS — fast, offline, local.
Semantic search (cached): Embedding-based search for when exact text matching isn't enough.

Import & Export

Idemora's PDF viewer open alongside the chat panel, with an AI answer referencing content from the currently visible page

DOCX import: Open existing .docx files directly in the editor.
DOCX export: Save notes as .docx — submission-ready.
PDF export: Via the standard print/save workflow.
PDF viewer with page-aware chat: Read PDFs directly in the app. Ask the AI assistant about what you're reading — it knows which page is open and answers from that context.
Subpages: Nested note trees — organize like a file system.

Privacy & Ownership

Local-first: Your data lives in a SQLite database on your machine. No cloud, no sync server, no account.
No telemetry: The app phones home only to check for updates. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection.
Your API key, your rules: AI features use a key you provide. Nothing is sent to any third party without your explicit instruction.
