Capabilities and how to check each one
| Capability | How it works | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| Instant open | Rolello opens straight to your notes. | Launch the app and start typing. |
| Plain Markdown files | Each note is a Markdown file in a folder you own, openable in any editor. | Open the folder in Finder or File Explorer and open a note in any text editor. |
| Sync between devices | Sign in with an Epiphani account and your devices sync. Sync is end-to-end encrypted, and a 24-word recovery phrase from Settings brings your notes to any device. | Sign in on two devices, then edit a note on one and watch it arrive on the other. |
| Search as you type | Results update with each keystroke. | Type a word from a note into search. |
| Import | Bring your notes over from Evernote, Apple Notes and Notion. | Import a notebook and open the resulting files. |
| AI answers from your notes | Ask a question in plain words and the answer is drawn from your own notes. | Ask about something you wrote and compare the answer with the note. |
| Notes for AI agents over MCP | Rolello exposes your notes to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol, with tools to search, read, list, backlinks, create, append, replace, set property, move, link, trash, history, undo. Every change is journaled and can be undone. | Connect an MCP client to Rolello and list its tools. |
| Quick capture on Mac | Control Option N captures a thought from anywhere, without switching to the app first. | Press the shortcut from any app. |
| Download | The Mac download is signed and notarized by Apple and updates itself. The Windows download is a portable zip: unzip it anywhere and run Rolello.exe. | Open the download page. Checksums are in the release manifest. |
