Where things live in the OpenNote repository, as of the main branch after Phase 1. Work on later phases adds folders on phase branches, and they reach main when each phase merges.
.github/ Issue and pull request templates, ci.yml, and release.yml
.githooks/ The pre-commit hook that runs CHECKS
app/
src/ The TypeScript interface
src/theme/ Theme code. tokens.css and tokens.ts are generated from brand/tokens.json
src-tauri/ The Rust shell: window, configuration, and commands
scripts/ Build scripts: design tokens, version check, and update manifest
brand/ Design tokens, logo mark, app icon, and social preview
checks/ The CHECKS quality gate: cli.ts, rules/, data/, and test/
docs/
adr/ Architecture decision records
design/ Screen wireframes, generated from the design tokens
RELEASING.md The maintainer guide for releases
spikes/ The Phase 1 experiments: harness/ (Rust), web/ (TypeScript), and results/
The root also holds README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, LICENSE, package.json, the Rust workspace Cargo.toml, and the lint and format settings.
Five planning documents sit at the root today. A pending pull request moves them into docs/, and these links use the new paths.
| Document | What it covers |
|---|---|
| docs/RESEARCH.md | Popular note apps, the features people love, and the gaps to fill |
| docs/DEVELOPMENT.md | The phased plan, tests, and release gates |
| docs/FEATURES.md | The feature specification, with the phase for each feature |
| docs/BRAND.md | Color, type, layout, voice, accessibility, and performance budgets |
| docs/CHECKS.md | The quality gate for every file change |
The screen wireframes and the decision records stay where they are.
The plan adds these as phases need them:
| Folder | What it will hold |
|---|---|
crates/core/ |
Document model, file format, storage, undo history, and search index |
crates/media/ |
Audio capture and encoding, transcription, and OCR adapters |
crates/interop/ |
Import and export: Markdown, HTML, DOCX, PDF, OneNote, and Evernote |
docs/format/ |
The note file format specification |
tests/e2e/ |
End-to-end tests that drive the real app |
tests/perf/ |
Performance benchmarks and large sample notebooks |
