This plugin talks to the notebook server directly over HTTP using Qt's network stack. It does not depend on the NB commands from the rizin core plugin for its UI functionality, but the core plugin must be installed for any NB command functionality in Cutter's rizin shell.

What you get

A dock panel with two tabs:

Pages tab:

List of all notebook pages
Per-page cell viewer showing cell type, content, and output
Buttons: Refresh Pages, New Page, Delete Page, Attach Binary, Open Pipe, Close Pipe, Reload Page, Export, Import

Compose tab:

Active page and pipe status
Editor for writing and submitting cells:
- Markdown note
- Command cell (recorded without execution)
- Script cell (recorded without execution)
- Run command now (executes via server pipe, records result)
- Run script now (executes JavaScript on server, records result)

Menu entries (Plugins -> Notebook):

Connect... - connect to a running server
Spawn Server - auto-start rizin-notebook.exe
Server Status - show server version, rizin path, storage, page count
List Pages - refresh the pages tab
New Page... - create a page (auto-attaches the currently open binary)
Delete Page - delete the selected page
Attach Binary... - attach a binary file to the selected page
Export Page... - save the selected page as a .rznb file
Import Page... - import a .rznb file as a new page
(separator)
Open in Browser - open the server web UI in your browser
Set Server URL... - change the server address

Status bar (bottom of dock): shows connection state, page count, open pipe count, and server details on hover.

Requirements

Cutter 2.4.1 (or compatible)
rz_notebook core plugin installed and loaded in Cutter (provides NB commands for the rizin shell; the Cutter plugin itself uses the HTTP JSON API directly)
rizin-notebook Go server running (the Cutter plugin can auto-start it)
Qt 6.7.x SDK with MSVC 2019 64-bit (Windows) or the matching platform toolkit
CMake 3.16+ and a C++20 compiler

Build (Windows)

Install Qt 6.7.2 if you don't have it:

pip install aqtinstall
python -m aqt install-qt windows desktop 6.7.2 win64_msvc2019_64 --outputdir C:\Qt

Configure and build:

cmake -S cutter-notebook-plugin -B cutter-notebook-plugin/build ^
  -DCutter_DIR="C:\path\to\Cutter-v2.4.1-Windows-x86_64" ^
  -DQt6_DIR="C:\Qt\6.7.2\msvc2019_64\lib\cmake\Qt6"

cmake --build cutter-notebook-plugin/build --config Release

Build (Linux / macOS)

cmake -S cutter-notebook-plugin -B cutter-notebook-plugin/build \
  -DCutter_DIR=/opt/Cutter \
  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt/6.x/gcc_64

cmake --build cutter-notebook-plugin/build --config Release

Install

Copy CutterNotebookPlugin.dll (Windows) or CutterNotebookPlugin.so (Linux) to:

Windows: %APPDATA%\rizin\cutter\plugins\native
Linux: ~/.local/share/rizin/cutter/plugins/native
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/rizin/cutter/plugins/native

The rz_notebook core plugin (rz_notebook.dll / .so) goes into the Rizin plugin directory that Cutter uses. For portable Cutter builds, this is often inside the Cutter installation directory, not just the user plugin directory.

Run rizin -H RZ_USER_PLUGINS to find the user path. For portable Cutter, also check <cutter-root>/lib/rizin/plugins/.

Troubleshooting

Dock does not appear - make sure CutterNotebookPlugin.dll is in the native plugins directory and was built against the same Cutter and Qt version you are running.

Server not reachable - start rizin-notebook first, or use Spawn Server from the menu. Use Set Server URL if the server runs on a non-default address.

NB commands not available in Cutter's rizin shell - rz_notebook.dll (the core plugin) must be built against the same Rizin that Cutter bundles and placed in the Rizin plugin path that Cutter loads from. The Cutter plugin itself does not require this for its dock UI, but you need it to use NB commands in Cutter's command panel.

Binary hash mismatch warning - when you open a page whose attached binary differs from the file currently open in Cutter, the plugin shows a warning. You can re-attach the correct binary via Attach Binary.
