What is Hubble?

Hubble is a free, open-source notetaking app for you and your agents.

• Feels familiar. The same writing experience you're used to from Notion or Apple Notes, but for Markdown. / commands, Markdown shortcuts, and file properties / frontmatter are supported.
• Agent ready. Point your agent at your notes folder to start collaborating. Hubble will live-reloads as your agent edits.
• Build any view. Beyond Markdown, you can build and view HTML-based apps. Install the skills and tell your coding agent what to build. Turn a folder of notes into a table, a bookshelf, a map... anything you can think of.

Download

Hubble ships as a desktop app. Install the latest build from the releases page.

macOS, Windows, and Linux are supported. macOS builds are signed and notarized; Windows and Linux builds are unsigned, so your OS may warn before the first launch.

Compile from source

Want to build Hubble directly? First, install the prerequisites:

• Node.js
• pnpm
• macOS desktop builds: Xcode Command Line Tools via xcode-select --install

Then from the repo root:

pnpm install
pnpm bundle:desktop:mac
# or for windows:
pnpm bundle:desktop:win
# or for linux:
pnpm bundle:desktop:linux

This creates a production desktop bundle under apps/desktop/release/. For the live dev flow and packaging detail, see apps/desktop/README.md.

Documentation

Powered by Warp

Hubble's repository automation runs on Warp Factory agents. When you open an issue or a pull request, an agent handles it:

• Triage. New issues get a triage-state label and a comment explaining the decision.
• Implementation. Issues labeled ready-to-implement get a draft pull request.
• Review. Pull requests get a code review before a human looks at them.

Every comment, review, and pull request an agent produces is signed with a link back to Warp, so it is always clear what a person wrote and what an agent wrote. The workflows live in .github/workflows.

If you want to set up your own software factory, try Warp's setup guide.

Contributing

Contributions of any size are welcome. Open an issue before substantial work so we can agree on the approach together. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full flow.
