Hello all,

I’m looking for an alternative to my current notes app notally. It’s a great app but I am only able to make to-do lists or plain text notes, and I can’t combine both (like plain text with check boxes sometimes). I would like to automate some notes too so I think app with markdown support will allow me to do both.

What I’m looking for :

  • FOSS
  • Markdown support
  • Good looking with tiling view
  • SIMPLE, I already have Joplin for work purpose but it’s too heavy, I want an app that opens instantly like google notes or apple notes (or notally lol).

Do you have some recommendations ?

Thanks a lot

    Markor is, by far, the best.

    They did start accepting AI-generated contributions a while ago, but the latest release (2.16.1) is still clean.

    In addition to Markdown docs and to-dos, it also supports Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, ZimWiki, todo.txt, and (of course) plaintext.

    However, it does not have a tiled view.

      Isn’t tiling just the OS split screen? You’ll excuse the dumb question, I barely use multitasking features as it is.

        I thought OP meant being able to see notes arranged in a grid with text previews (á la Google Keep), rather than the usual filename list.

        If it’s multitasking tiling they want, then Markor does do that, as it supports multiple windows.
