Unlike other apps these days, Notes is fast. With instantaneous search, you will find what you're looking for right away.
Organize your ideas hierarchically using nested folders and universally using tags.
Select multiple notes to see them all one after another in the editor.
Keyboard shortcuts
Notes supports many keyboard shortcuts to make it easy to use with just a keyboard.
Local first
Notes prioritizes local storage, ensuring your notes and ideas are saved directly on your device first.
Cross-platform
Built on Qt C++ & QML, Notes is available on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Our app is open source, which means the code is available for everyone to see. On top of that, our app doesn't track your behavior.
Frequently asked questions
How my notes are stored?
All your notes are simple plain text strings under the hood. All these plain text strings are stored in a SQLite database locally on your computer. We are considering plans to remove the reliance on a custom database and to store all notes as simple .txt files inside a folder.
