Swifty Notes is a native GTK/libadwaita Markdown notes application for Linux written in Swift.
The desktop app is the primary experience: write, organize, and preview Markdown notes with native GTK widgets, autosave, remembered workspace state, and adjustable editor settings such as font size, wrapping, indentation, and appearance.
The included CLI works on the same file-backed notes so shell scripts, automation, and AI agents can safely inspect or update notes without a separate database or background service.
This update brings folders and inline spell-checking to Swifty Notes — two of the most-requested features for organising notes and writing comfortably.
swiftynotes cli list --folder Work, swiftynotes cli folders create / rm / rename / move, swiftynotes cli move <note-id> --folder Personal. Recursive deletes refuse to run without --yes, apt-style.
