**StrataNote** combines the best features of classic note-taking applications (like Obsidian) with powerful real-time collaboration, local file sync, and web administration capabilities.

All database notes are stored in the open Markdown format, preventing vendor lock-in and guaranteeing 100% ownership and privacy of your personal data.
