Our Take

AS Notes is basically Obsidian for people who never leave VS Code — it turns your entire IDE into a personal knowledge management system so you can Jot notes, link files, and build a second brain without switching apps. The idea is that your code and your learning docs live in the same place, which hits different if you're the type to have forty-seven browser tabs open just to debug one function. It's a niche tool for a niche audience, but if you're already living in your editor, this might actually be the move.

Markdown and [[wikilink]] note-taking extension for VS Code and compatible editors (Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf) that allows users to capture ideas, link concepts, write documentation, blogs and wikis without leaving their editor

Key Features
