harbour-quill

Markdown notes client (Obsidian-like) for Sailfish OS. Notes live in a WebDAV folder (e.g. a Nextcloud directory): browse, edit and preview .md notes with automatic save — no local storage, your vault stays on your server.

Features

WebDAV browsing: folder navigation, all files shown (not only .md, any file can be opened as text), mtime/size listing
Markdown editor with automatic save on exit
Preview rendered locally by the built-in parser (Markdown.js):
- GFM tables (delimiter row, column alignment, inline markup in cells)
- navigable [[wiki-links]]
- inline images with local cache
- relative links resolved against the note's WebDAV folder
- local file: links blocked with a banner (safety)
Note search (title filter)
New / delete notes from the folder list
English and Italian UI: language selector (system / English / Italiano), applied on restart; Italian catalogue .qm in the app data dir
Settings in ~/.config/harbour/quill/quill.conf — the persistent zone of the SailJail sandbox (Sailfish 4.4+/5.x)

Known limitations

The WebDAV password is stored in plain text in the app settings (~/.config/harbour/quill/quill.conf) — acceptable for personal use.
The preview is a local render; some exotic Markdown edge cases may differ from Obsidian.
The language change takes effect on restart.
