Beautiful plain .md files
14,99 €
Open, write, done.
Raven launches in under a second. No sync spinner, no splash screen, no waiting. Your note is there before you've finished reaching for the keyboard.
Every note is a plain .md file in a folder you can see. Open it in Files, search it from the terminal, drop it into Claude. No database. No export step. Just your writing, exactly where you left it.
Built in SwiftUI for iPhone and Mac - not ported, not wrapped in a web view. You can feel the difference in the scrolling, the input response, the way it sits under your thumb.
