The Notes app is a distraction free notes taking app for Nextcloud. It provides categories for better organization and supports formatting using Markdown syntax. Notes are saved as files in your Nextcloud, so you can view and edit them with every Nextcloud client. Furthermore, a separate RESTful API allows for an easy integration into third-party apps (currently, there are notes apps for Android, iOS and the console which allow convenient access to your Nextcloud notes). Further features include marking notes as favorites.
In your Nextcloud, simply navigate to »Apps«, choose the category »Office«, find the Notes app and enable it. Then open the Notes app from the app menu.
Nextcloud will notify you about possible updates. Please have a look at releases for a changelog.
