Features Overview
- Native app (written in C++ with Qt).
- Turn your Markdown tasks into a beautiful Kanban board.
- Fast and beautiful.
- Fully open source and cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows).
- Completely private - tracks nothing.
- 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 Win+Shift+N to summon Notes. Ctrl+N for macOS.
- Keyboard shortcuts. Meant to have the option to be used solely with a keyboard (but more work needs to be done on that).
- What feature will you contribute?
Keyboard shortcuts
All keyboard shortcuts are documented here.
Pro Version
To support our open source development you can purchase a Pro Version license that will allow you to edit inside the Kanban view and recieve free Pro version updates for a year. You can also donate money either through Github Sponsors, or Patreon, or put a bounty on specific issues using Bountysource. If you wish, you can access all Pro features at no cost by building the app from source. See "Building from source" below.
