Hey, thanks for checking Notesnook out.

I was myself a pen & paper user for notes. That is why I designed Notesnook organization system around the concept of notebooks & topics because they are very easy to get used to:

A notebook has multiple topics that can have multiple notes. (A single note can be under multiple topics - for flexibility).

As for markdown, Notesnook supports most of the markdown spec so you won't have any problem there.

I tried to make the app as simple and easy to use as possible because I am aware of how clunky and un-user-friendly many note-taking apps are. The aim is not to redesign (or reinvent) how to take notes but to improve & simplify it.




I love the sound of that.

So far I think the UX is incredibly sleek from my brief usage of the iOS app. Writing markdown feels really good, this will be a large improvement from the stock iOS app.

Excited to check out the VS Code extension and desktop experience.


I am really glad you liked it!

The VS Code extension & the desktop app are in the works. We also have plans for a Chrome extension and a CLI app (that will greatly make Notesnook editor/platform agnostic).
