Features Overview

Native app (written in C++ with Qt).
Fast with a low memory footprint.
Fully open source and cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows).
Completely private - tracks nothing.
Beautiful and sleek looking, yet still powerful.
Folders and tags. Organize your ideas hierarchically using nested folders and universally using tags.
Markdown Support. Format text without lifting your hands from the keyboard.
Different themes. Switch between Light, Dark, and Sepia.
Feed View. Select multiple notes to see them all one after another in the editor.
Always runs in the background. Use the hotkey "Windows" + 'N' to summon Notes. "control" + "N" for macOS.
Keyboard shortcuts. Meant to have the option to be used solely with a keyboard (but more work needs to be done there).
What feature will you contribute?

Support the project

If you use Notes daily, consider donating money so I can pay programmers to develop new features and fix bugs. I partner with Github Sponsors and Patreon to receive contributions. You can also put a bounty on specific issues using Bountysource. I currently make a living from ads on the website, but I'd like to stop with that.
