Notable is a cross‑platform, Electron‑based note‑taking application that stores notes as plain GitHub‑Flavored Markdown files on disk. It provides a powerful VS Code‑style editor with multi‑cursor support, live preview, and unlimited tag nesting.

Use cases

• write and organize personal notes in Markdown with instant preview
• manage a knowledge base that can be version‑controlled with Git
• store attachments alongside notes without proprietary formats
• search and replace across all notes using regular expressions
• import Evernote or Boostnote libraries into a plain‑text workflow
• work offline and sync notes via Dropbox, OneDrive, or any cloud service

When to choose

• You need a lightweight, markdown‑first note‑taking app that keeps data in plain files.
• You want full control over note storage and versioning with Git or other tools.
• You prefer a desktop app with a VS Code‑like editor and powerful search capabilities.

When to avoid

• You require a mobile‑only solution or native iOS/Android apps.
• You need collaborative real‑time editing built into the app.
• You rely on proprietary note formats or cloud‑only storage.
