  • Dead simple to use: Even your granny would be able to use it. No seriously!
  • Feature rich Add your precious note with it's title , content , tags
  • Secure: Encrypts your database using standard AES-256 in CBC mode. So even if anybody gets hand of your database file. He cannot make any sense of it. A little demo of what I am doing using it

  • Text Highlighting is cross platform - Supports Linux, Windows, MAC for the terminal based highlighting.
  • Searching for notes is hassle free in tnote: It supports full text search for notes based on content, tags
