Postgres: kill long-running queries

Find anything older than five minutes, then terminate by pid:

SELECT pid, now() - query_start AS runtime, query
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE state = 'active' AND now() - query_start > '5 minutes';

-- then, for the offender:
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(4242);

Features

Everything a developer's notebook needs. Nothing it doesn't.

An editor built for code

Rich text where you want it, real code blocks where you need them — syntax highlighting powered by highlight.js grammars, with a language picker. Autosave kicks in three seconds after you stop typing.

Diagrams as text

Mermaid and PlantUML blocks render inline. Sequence diagrams, flowcharts and ER diagrams live next to the code they describe — and stay diffable, because they're just text.

Screenshots that stay fast

Upload images straight into a page. Every image is re-encoded to WebP on the server, so error screenshots and architecture sketches don't bloat your notes.

Organised your way

Spaces to separate contexts, flat groups to file pages, tags to cut across both. When you'd rather not click at all, ⌘K jumps anywhere.

Sharing without ceremony

Flip a page public and hand out a read-only link, or invite someone by email with read or edit permission. Revoke access any time — it takes effect immediately, even mid-session.

Your notes are yours

Export any page as Markdown with one click, or your whole account as a ZIP — every page as Markdown plus every image. Deleted pages sit in a recycle bin first; deleted accounts get a 30-day grace window.

Real-time collaboration

Debug together, in the same document.

Share a page with an edit grant and you're co-editing live: everyone's cursor is visible, everyone's changes merge conflict-free, and a presence bar shows who's on the page right now.

  • Live cursors and selections, labelled with each editor's name
  • CRDT-based merging — simultaneous edits converge, no "last save wins"
  • Permission changes apply instantly — downgrade an editor and it takes effect mid-session
  • Included on every plan, including Free

Frequently asked

Questions developers ask first.

Can I export my notes if I leave?

Yes, at any time and on any plan. Export a single page as Markdown with one click, or request a full-account export: a ZIP containing every page as Markdown plus every image you've uploaded, delivered as a download link by email.

How does sharing work?

Two ways. A public link makes the page readable by anyone who has the URL — read-only, revocable at any time. Or invite a specific person by email with read or edit permission; editors can co-write with you live. You'll need to verify your email address before sharing.

What happens if I delete my account?

Your account is deactivated immediately and enters a 30-day grace window — sign in during that time and we'll email you a reactivation link. After the window, your account and its data, including uploaded images, are permanently erased.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Sign up with your email address or your GitHub account and you're on the Free plan — the full editor, diagrams, sharing and real-time collaboration included.
