A plain-text workflow that survives every app

Notes outlive the software you took them in. Plan for the migration you have not had yet.

Every note-taking app eventually shuts down, changes owner, or adds a subscription. Plain text has outlived all of them.

Three rules

  • One folder, dated filenames, no nesting deeper than two levels.
  • Markdown for structure, never for layout.
  • Anything that cannot survive a grep does not belong in the note.

The workflow is unremarkable on purpose. Its only feature is that it still opens.
