Notable is a cross-platform Markdown-based note-taking desktop app built with Electron and React. Notes are plain GitHub Flavored Markdown files stored on disk with attachments, nestable tags, fuzzy search, and import from Evernote or Boostnote.

Use cases

• take notes in markdown on desktop
• replace evernote with a markdown note app
• keep notes as plain files synced with dropbox or git
• search and replace across all my notes
• write notes with katex math and mermaid diagrams
• import my boostnote notes library

When to choose

• you want plain markdown files with no vendor lock-in
• you prefer a powerful code-style editor over WYSIWYG
• you need cross-platform desktop notes on mac, windows, and linux
• you want to manage notes with git or any external editor

When to avoid

• you need mobile apps or cloud sync built in
• you want real-time collaboration on notes
• you need a WYSIWYG rich-text editor
• you want actively developed new features, as releases are infrequent
