Why ANQL?
ANQL is built for engineers, researchers, analysts and students who want to write and calculate in the same place, without switching apps.
Write your notes and embed live calculations directly inside them. Define a variable, reuse it anywhere in the document. Your workspace thinks as you type — no context switching, no broken workflows.
Features
✍️ Rich Text & Markdown Support
A fluid writing experience with intuitive formatting. Headings, lists, links, tables — everything you need for structured note-taking, without the bloat.
Full Markdown Support: Write seamlessly using standard Markdown shortcuts. Type # for headings, - for lists, > for blockquotes, or $$ for math blocks. The editor transforms them instantly as you type.
🔢 Live Math — inline, in context
The heart of ANQL. Embed mathematical expressions directly in your notes and watch them compute in real time.
mass = 74 → 74
gravity = 9.81 → 9.81
force = mass * gravity → 725.94
- Variables with scope — define once, reuse everywhere in the document
- Table integration — reference table data directly:
Table1.column[1]orTable1.column - Smart autocomplete — context-aware suggestions for variables, tables, and functions
- Real-time results — updates as you type, no manual execution
- Full math library via mathjs: trigonometry, statistics, algebra, matrices, unit conversions, and more
- Error feedback — clear visual hints when something goes wrong
What's available in the Math Panel
| Category | Functions |
|---|---|
| Arithmetic | +, -, *, /, ^, sqrt, mod |
| Trigonometry | sin, cos, tan, and inverses |
| Logarithms | log, log2, log10, exp |
| Statistics | mean, median, std, variance, min, max, sum, prod |
| Algebra | derivative, simplify, factorial, fraction |
| Matrices | det, inv, transpose, dot, cross |
| Constants | π, e, ∞, i, phi |
| Units | angles, temperature, length, weight, and more |
| Random | random(), random selection |
| Geometry | distance, intersect |
🗄️ Data Management
Structure your knowledge with tables, smart document links, and a local SQLite database. Your data stays on your machine — always.
Tables & Calculations
- Create tables with multiple column types (text, number, checkbox, date)
- Reference table data directly in math expressions:
Table1.column[1]orTable1.column - Automatic cell references and column aggregations (sum, mean, etc.)
- Link between documents using
@node:idsyntax
Local Database
- SQLite-based storage for fast, reliable data persistence
- Full-text search across all documents
- Asset management for images and files
🌐 Offline First
No internet required. ANQL runs entirely on your device. Your notes are yours.
🌙 Light & Dark Mode
Comfortable in any environment, at any hour.
📁 Import / Export
Import Markdown and ANQL files. Export in ANQL format.
Getting Started
Download
ANQL is currently available for macOS.
👉 Download the latest release (v0.3.1)
Once installed, open the Quick Start guide to learn the basics in a few minutes — smart block creation, live math, search, and more.
Build from source
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npm
- Rust and Cargo (for Tauri)
- macOS 11+ (Big Sur) or later
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/anqlproject/anql.git
cd anql
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run in development mode
npm run tauri dev
# Build for production
npm run tauri build
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- Build fails: Ensure Node.js 18+ and Rust are installed
- Tauri dev crashes: Try clearing the cache:
rm -rf src-tauri/target - Math not evaluating: Check that expressions are valid mathjs syntax
- Tables not showing: Ensure columns have the correct data type
