Open Source Smartisan Notes

zhaoolee/notes

Self-hosted Smartisan-style notes web app with a skill for Hermes Agent to create and export notes

In short

Open Source Smartisan Notes is a self-hosted web notes app styled after Smartisan Notes, with an API and a notes-export-api skill that let Hermes Agent or OpenClaw create notes and export them as images. It deploys from a single Docker image.

What Open Source Smartisan Notes does

The app is a pure web application that recreates the look of Smartisan Notes, with multiple notes, categories, image insertion, mobile and desktop layouts and data synced across devices. Notes can be exported as PNG images, copied as Markdown, downloaded as a Markdown package with images or saved as offline HTML, and pasted in one step into the WeChat official account assistant. Themes include warm white paper, a night mode, iPhone Notes light and dark, and a Bear-style layout.

For agents, the README says the API is wrapped for Hermes Agent and OpenClaw, which drive note management through the notes-export-api skill, published on ClawHub. After login, the app can generate a personal link that, pasted to Hermes Agent or OpenClaw, returns a skill package with authentication included. Accounts are isolated, so an AI and a human can each have their own. There is also a DeepSeek Harness plugin and optional DeepSeek integration for polishing text. Deployment is one Docker image, zhaoolee/notes.
