Any Text File Is a Real, Editable File Here — Not Just Markdown

A project folder isn't only markdown notes — it's config files, scripts, a Dockerfile with no extension at all, snippets of code you're keeping alongside the docs about them. Plenty of document managers treat anything that isn't their native format as read-only at best. NoteVault treats any real text file as an actual editable document.

A real editor, not a fancier preview

Click into a .js, .css, .json, .py, .sql, or dozens of other file types, and you get a genuine code editor with syntax highlighting — type, edit, and save it, the same as a markdown note. Files with no recognizable extension, or none at all, still open as plain text rather than being blocked from opening entirely.

A quick way to start a new one

Double-clicking empty space in a pane's tab bar creates a new untitled markdown file on the spot and opens it — a fast-capture habit for jotting something down without a save dialog interrupting the thought first.

The result is a vault that behaves like a real file workspace for a project, not a notes app that happens to tolerate other file types sitting nearby without actually supporting them.
