# Lumen
Lumen is a simple note-taking app for better thinking.
[**Open Lumen →**](https://app.uselumen.com)
> [!WARNING]
> Work in progress. Expect breaking changes. Follow [@lumen_notes](https://twitter.com/lumen_notes) on Twitter for updates.
Think of Lumen as your _private knowledge garden_. It's where you plant, grow, and harvest ideas.
- **🌱 Plant**
Write notes in [markdown](/docs/markdown-syntax.md) files and store them in a GitHub repository of your choice. You own your data, forever.
- **🌿 Grow**
Connect your notes with links and tags. Lumen makes it easy to explore your knowledge graph and discover new connections.
- **🌻 Harvest**
Access your notes from anywhere—even offline. Use Lumen's flexible [query language](/docs/query-language.md) to find exactly what you're looking for.
Notes in Lumen are...
- written in [markdown](/docs/markdown-syntax.md)
- stored as files on GitHub
- version-controlled with Git
- interconnected
- searchable
- available offline
- accessible on any device
- compatible with [other apps](#alternatives)
