sudonotes is a lightweight, local-first notebook designed specifically for organizing AI prompts, reusable templates, and brainstormed ideas.
Prompts often end up scattered across chat histories, scratch files, and abandoned docs. When you need them again, you rewrite them from scratch. sudonotes keeps your prompt engineering refined, links prompts to the ideas that motivated them, and lets you find them instantly.
### Key Features
Local-First & Privacy-Preserving Your notes are stored as plain Markdown files in a folder you choose on your local drive. No mandatory cloud accounts, no telemetry lock-in, and full offline capability.
Prompt Templates with {{placeholders}} Turn any prompt into a reusable template by adding {{variable}} syntax. The dynamic side panel extracts every variable into fillable fields, letting you generate finished prompts with Copy Filled without modifying your template.
Idea Bubbles & Model Matching Split brainstorming notes into focused blocks ("bubbles"). Aim specific thinking steps at different LLMs using a live catalog of models, context windows, and capabilities.
Project Linking & IDEAS.md Mirroring Link an idea note to any software repository on your machine. sudonotes automatically maintains an up-to-date IDEAS.md in your project root for human collaborators and local coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Aider).
Fast SQLite FTS5 Search Search across your entire vault with Ctrl+K. Ranked full-text search prioritizes titles over passing mentions with zero perceptible latency.
Bi-Directional [[Wiki-Links]] & ((Page-References)) Connect related notes with double-bracket links and track dependencies via the Linked From backlinks panel.
Minimalist & Lightweight Built with Tauri on your native system webview. The package is ~20MB, starts instantly, and consumes a fraction of the RAM of Electron-based apps.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install sudonotes, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install sudonotes
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
