Boojy Suite
Creativity without limits. Boojy is a suite of free, open-source creative apps — a note-taking
app, a DAW, an image editor, with more planned — built for hobbyists: people who make things for the
joy of it and don't need professional suites. Every app is free forever (no subscriptions, paywalls, or trials),
GPLv3 and developed in public, privacy-first (no telemetry or ads), no generative AI, cross-platform.
New here? This page tells you what exists and where to go. VISION.md explains
why Boojy exists and where it's heading. Each app repo's own README covers how to run it.
The live site is boojy.org.
The apps
Ordered by release order (Notes → Audio → Design → Video):
| Repo | What it is | For people who don't need… | Status |
|---|
| boojy-notes | Markdown note-taking — your files on disk, wikilinks (React + Electron) | Notion, Obsidian | Beta — v0.17.0 (2026-10-21). The same notes on an Android phone, through Dropbox, work in testing. |
| boojy-audio | Cross-platform DAW — multi-track audio/MIDI, mixing, VST3 (Flutter UI + Rust engine) | GarageBand, Logic, Audition | Early access — v0.6.0. In active development again (2026-09-29): v0.7.0 is being finished, reliability first. Expect bugs. |
| boojy-design | Web image editor — paint, shapes, text, layers | Photoshop, Procreate, Canva | On hold — v0.4.0. Until Notes and Audio are both in Beta. Private repo, not online. |
| boojy-web | Source for boojy.org (Astro static) | — | Live |
| boojy-cloud | Sync service (old Supabase backend, dormant) | — | Planned — after the Notes Beta; principles in VISION.md §7 (private repo) |
Status is updated on releases and when an app's state changes. Each repo's CHANGELOG.md is
authoritative if this table trails, and each repo's docs/BACKLOG.md says what's next.
How this folder works
This repo is the suite umbrella — a thin container for cross-project strategy and shared
conventions. Each app is its own independent git repo nested inside it (gitignored here, tracked in
its own remote). This README is an orientation map, not how-to-run-an-app docs.
Where things live
| Looking for… | Go to |
|---|
| Strategy / why (lineup, roadmap, principles, licensing) | VISION.md |
| Shared rules every repo inherits (process, branch discipline, memory model) | AGENTS.md |
| Brand (colors, logos, name & handles) | docs/BRAND.md |
| Repo scaffold (what a standard Boojy repo contains + how to set up its gate) | docs/REPO_TEMPLATE.md |
| App-specific architecture, stack, gotchas | that repo's own AGENTS.md + .claude/rules/ |
Starting a new app (e.g. Boojy Video)? Scaffold its repo from
docs/REPO_TEMPLATE.md.
