Notes is a fast, open-source, cross-platform note-taking desktop application written in C++ with Qt. It supports Markdown, folders and tags, themes, a Kanban task board, and local-first storage with no tracking.
Use cases
- take notes locally with markdown support
- organize notes with folders and tags
- manage tasks as a kanban board
- quickly search notes with instant search
- write notes privately without cloud tracking
- use a keyboard-only note-taking workflow
When to choose
- you want a fast, native, local-first note app on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you prefer Markdown and keyboard shortcuts over rich-text editors
- privacy matters and you don't want your notes synced to third-party servers
When to avoid
- you need built-in cloud sync or mobile apps
- you want collaborative editing or web access to your notes
- you need a free Kanban editor (editing the task board requires the Pro license or building from source)
