VNote¶
A pleasant note-taking platform.
VNote is a free and open source, Qt-based note-taking application that focuses on Markdown. More than just an editor, VNote pairs an excellent editing experience with powerful notes management — and it runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
Why VNote¶
-
Own your data
All notes are plain text on your local disk. One notebook is exactly one directory — no database, no lock-in. Sync anywhere with the service of your choice or per-notebook git.
-
Simple notes management
Self-contained notebooks, infinite levels of folders, and plain notes. Organize with tags, quick access, and history; explore and edit external files directly.
-
Pleasant Markdown experience
In-place and side-by-side live preview, syntax highlighting, an interactive outline, effective image management, math, and diagrams (PlantUML, Graphviz, Mermaid, and more).
-
Made for power users
Vi mode, versatile shortcuts, tabs and window splits, fuzzy search and jump, plus deep customization through themes, styles, and behaviors.
