Acolite is a local file management system and editor made with ElectronJS 13.1.7 and Angular 12 that helps you keep your important notes and files in a single centralized subset of your file system. Organize files easily by creating folders and subfolders dedicated to a certain purpose, and/or bookmark important files to find them quickly when you need them.
Create new files and edit them in the app or drag and drop existing files from your file system. Text files are fully indexed and you can find them easily by searching for their text content, file path or name, so not remembering a file's name is not an issue.
