What is Notes?

Notes works like a paper notebook that never runs out of pages. Click anywhere and start typing; lists, tables, pictures and sketches sit side by side. Organise with notebooks, coloured sections and pages, tag to-dos and questions, handwrite with pens and highlighters, and search every notebook at once.

Key features

  • Free-form pages: click anywhere to write, move and resize notes
  • Notebooks, coloured sections, section groups, pages and subpages
  • To-do / Important / Question tags with a summary across notebooks
  • Pens, highlighters, lasso and shapes for handwriting
  • Page versions, 60-day restore and export to HTML, Markdown or PDF

Do I need to install Notes?

The official hosted version hasn’t been published yet. You can run it locally with the “Run it from source” steps below (Node.js 22.12 or newer).

Can Notes replace Microsoft OneNote?

For most everyday work, yes: free-form pages: click anywhere to write, move and resize notes; notebooks, coloured sections, section groups, pages and subpages; to-do / Important / Question tags with a summary across notebooks.
