BlokNotes for developers
Where the design doc, the diagram and the API key live together
Developer knowledge scatters with precision: design docs in one wiki, diagrams in a whiteboard tool, credentials in a chat thread you'd rather not think about, and the client's bug reports in email.
BlokNotes consolidates the lot: notes with code blocks and embedded Excalidraw diagrams, issues with priorities and follow-ups for client work, an encrypted vault for the credentials — and a headless CMS when your notes should become a changelog or docs site.
The problems this solves
Architecture decisions without records
Design docs with revision history, code blocks and inline diagrams — plus backlinks, so the implementation notes reference the decision that shaped them.
Secrets in chat scrollback
The vault encrypts credentials with keys derived from your password, and shares them through expiring, read-limited, revocable links instead of messages that live forever.
A CMS project for every content need
Publish notes as versioned pages and tables as collections over a token-protected API — a changelog or docs site without standing up another stack.
How developers use BlokNotes
- 1
Document decisions
Write the design doc with code blocks and an embedded architecture diagram. Revision history keeps the paper trail as it evolves.
- 2
Track the client's reality
Bug reports and feature requests become issues with type, priority and follow-up dates — visible on the client's record, not buried in mail.
- 3
Hand off securely
Staging credentials go in the vault and reach the client through an expiring, password-protected share link with an access log.
- 4
Publish from your notes
The changelog table and docs notes publish through the CMS — draft environment first, production when ready, tokens scoping who reads what.

Learn moreQuestions from this corner of the world
Is there an API?
The CMS serves published content over a token-protected API with environments and CORS controls. It's designed for reading published content from your sites and apps.
Can I write code in notes?
Yes — code blocks are first-class in the editor, alongside tables, diagrams and everything else.
