New Item

Everything in one place.
Nothing in the way.

Quick capture, anywhere

Press ⌘⇧Space in any app. A small window floats on top, you type the thought, and it's saved. You stay in the app you were using.

◇

Flow canvas

Connect your items to build out your grand idea, and see how all your notes link together in one view.

▥

Boards

Turn any set of items into a kanban board grouped by state or by a property. Drag cards between columns.

Views that organize themselves

Build a view from a few simple conditions: type, state, property, text or date. Notes show up in every view they match, without being moved or copied, and the views stay up to date on their own.

⌕

Search everything

Full-text search across every note and todo, and a fuzzy file switcher that opens what you need in a few keystrokes.

↔

Connected notes

Link items to each other. Linked documents show up under an item, and you can edit them right there.

#

Properties and dates

Add properties and start and end dates to items, then filter and group by them in any view.

◐

Workspaces

Keep separate workspaces for different areas. Each has its own icon, color, tabs, font and layout.

Your data stays on your device

donote stores everything in a local database. You don't need an account and it works offline. Export one document as Markdown, a whole workspace as a zip, or a full backup, whenever you want.

  • Markdown
  • Workspace .zip
  • Full backup
  • Canvas PNG

Fast from the keyboard.

Made for the love of note-taking.

donote is built by one person, in spare time, because I wanted a notes app that works the way I think. It's in beta, so expect a few rough edges, and expect it to get better with every release.
