Roadmap

What is being worked on

This page shows the direction and the larger plans, not the detailed schedule.

Planned items deliberately carry no date, and the order within a stage is not a commitment. A date appears only where something is finished.

Planned

  • macOS

    Linux has been released; the macOS port is still outstanding.

  • Kanban

    The tasks from your documents as a board with columns, fed from those same files.

  • More writing systems and languages

    Documents in right-to-left scripts and in East Asian writing, plus the interface in Chinese and Japanese.

  • More calendar systems

    Ready-made templates for calendars in use today, from the Julian through the Islamic, Hebrew and Chinese to the Japanese and Thai calendars, set up in an area with a single click.

  • An AI-assisted second brain

    Material goes into an inbox folder, and the AI files it, links it to what is already there and makes it answerable in plain language. What comes out stays readable Markdown.

  • Database applications

    A table as a document, with its fields, its records and relations to other tables.

  • A browser extension

    Save a page from the web as a Markdown file in your own area with one click, along with its details and without the detour through the clipboard.

  • EM4us: working together as a team

    A server component of its own is to provide a shared area for a team, with users and permissions. Anyone working alone and locally will not notice it.

  • Presentations from Markdown

    A Markdown file becomes a slide deck with themes, speaker notes and export.

  • Flashcards with smart repetition

    Learning content as cards, anchored long-term through adaptive review intervals.

  • Import from other knowledge systems

    Bring existing content over from common note-taking and wiki systems.

  • Workflows

    Recurring steps run as a workflow: described in a Markdown file and started by hand, by an event or on a schedule.

  • Working modes

    Three presets decide how much functionality is visible, from a beginner mode to the full feature set, plus your own saved profiles. Fine-tuning stays possible at any time.

  • Portable without traces

    The portable edition leaves nothing behind on the computer: settings are not stored unless you deliberately turn saving on.

  • Charts for tables

    A table in a document can get a chart on request, such as a line, pie or donut chart. It refers to the table instead of holding its own data.
