Well, no. That's not what we'd say to use for this (although you could). [Deft](https://jblevins.org/projects/deft/ https://jblevins.org/projects/deft/) would be a better comparison/equivalent. Regarding OP, it looks very snappy! I like it. Looks like it leverages `fzf`. Can we swap it out for something else?

Deft was (around 3 or 4 years) my weapon of choice as well when I was using nvAlt. So, it was nvAlt (for times when I was in a random place on my Mac), Deft (for searching or adding from within emacs and 1Writer [1] from iOS, all were fed from a Dropbox folder. Now (since January) though I have moved to use Bear [2] (non-free) on all my devices. Its use case is a bit different, but I like it better overall. Side question: what do you suggest as alternative to fzf? fzf is excellent (a post I wrote on our engineering blog about using it for custom completions in zsh [3]), but I’m always eager to see new tools I can use.

  skim [1] is a rust alternative that has an interactive mode [2] which makes it easy to drill down to more specific results. [1] https://github.com/lotabout/skim https://github.com/lotabout/skim [2] https://github.com/lotabout/skim#interactive-mode https://github.com/lotabout/skim#interactive-mode

    Thanks, I was actually wondering why I had heard of no fuzzy searcher in Rust, seemed like a natural fit

Deft can easily be configured to generate org files by default.
