Features

Markdown-Based

Notes are written in Markdown, plus you can write KaTeX expressions, Mermaid diagrams and more, check out our Markdown cheatsheet.

Notable provides a very powerful Markdown editor, it's the same one VS Code uses in fact, so features like multi-cursors, a minimap and best-in-class syntax highlighting are built-in.

No Vendor Lock-In

Notes and attachments are simply stored on your disk, this is extremely portable and powerful: you could edit your notes via a third-party editor on mobile, have them synchronized via Dropbox, use Git, run a regex-based search and replace etc.

Dark Theme

A dark theme is also available. In the future support for custom themes will be added as well.

Zen Mode

Zen mode provides a minimalistic editing and reading experience, hiding everything that's not necessary.

Notable is also keyboard friendly, has a quick open window, and we'll soon add a command palette too, so you won't have to click any buttons if you don't want to.

Download

Notable is currently only available on desktop, but an official web app is being developed.

The desktop app is already build with web technologies so you can expect the future web app to work almost identically, but the desktop app will always have better integration with your OS as it can take advantage of some APIs that are not available in the browser.

The web app will require paying for a subscription to use, as it will have built-in cloud synchronization and end-to-end encryption. If you don't need those features you can keep using the desktop app for free, where those features are opt-in.
