Insight Notes

Insight Notes is a desktop note-taking app that uses on-device machine learning to help you rediscover your own ideas. Instead of relying on keyword search, it uses sentence embeddings (AllMiniLM-L6-v2 via rust-bert) to find semantically related notes and surface relevant topics you might not have thought to search for. Everything runs locally — your notes never leave your machine. The app is built with Tauri (Rust backend, Next.js/React frontend), stores everything in SQLite with vector extensions (sqlite-vec), and splits markdown content into chunks for granular semantic matching. It also computes word-level embeddings to suggest related topics beyond your existing tags.
