Quickstart for a developer in a hurry. No marketing yoga. Just clicks and outcomes.
1) Open the app
Open ZenMark. No account required. Your notes stay local by default.
2) Create an artefact (Spec / ADR / Debug)
Spec
Use a template (or start empty), write in Markdown, and keep it reviewable.
---
type: spec
title: "Feature: Local semantic search"
status: draft
---
## Goal
## Non-goals
## Approach
## Acceptance criteria
ADR
Document decisions so Future You stops hating Past You.
---
type: adr
title: "Use OpenRouter as the only AI provider"
status: accepted

## Context
## Decision
## Consequences
3) Add tags and organize
Create folders. Add tags. Search. Keep it boring and effective.
TipUse tags like
#bug, #design, #infra, #prompt to slice your knowledge quickly.4) Use AI Suggest on a note (preview-first)
AI is a tool: it runs only when you click. ZenMark asks for a structured output you can review and apply partially.
What you get
A suggestion payload (title, summary, tags, type). You choose what to apply.
Example output
{
"type": "debug",
"title": "Fix: Ghost Markdown renderer breaks on smart quotes",
"summary": "Root cause: HTML sanitizer strips code fences when quotes are normalized. Mitigation: normalize punctuation before export.",
"tags": ["ghost", "markdown", "export", "bug"]
}5) Use AI on a selection (preview, then apply)
Select text and run an action: rewrite, expand, translate, explain. Then choose:
- Replace the selection
- Insert below
- Copy to clipboard
6) Export Markdown
Export your note as Markdown (frontmatter optional). Keep your data portable.
Security & privacy
- Your OpenRouter key is stored locally (in your browser storage). ZenMark does not upload it to any server.
- No server storage for your notes by default.
- AI requests go to OpenRouter only when you trigger an action.
