Slip

I wanted a scratchpad I could open quickly without moving my notes into another app-owned database. Slip edits Markdown files in place, with a native editor, calculations and local command integration. The same files remain available to Finder, Obsidian and an agent.

Following the note, not just its path

The interesting work happens when another application changes something. A note may be renamed, moved or edited while it is open. I worked on file identity, change tracking and conflict handling so Slip can follow the note without silently overwriting a different file that happens to occupy the same path.

The app and CLI share the same file foundation. That lets a quick human edit and an agent workflow meet in the same Markdown folder. Slip is still pre-release, and is independently implemented with inspiration from Antinote's focused interaction model.
