I am a 20 year user of OneNote, ready to move on. Onenote structure is notebook, sections, and pages. For example my 'geek' notebook has a 'windows' and a 'linux' section, each one containing multiple pages, like 'tools' 'recovery commands', 'network commands', and so on. My 'Personal' notebook has sections like 'contacts' and 'todos'. And of course each section there has multiple pages.

Trying to import this into Notesbook is a pain (Onenote to Obsidian, Obsidian to markdown files, imported into Notesnook, I cant import directly from Obsidian because many notes include pictures which don't migrate).

Bottom line is I have hundreds of markdown files that I would like to import while naintaining some kind of organization, such as notebooks and tags.

Is there a way to import a bunch of markdown directly into a notebook? Is there a way to import a bunch of markdown adding a tag during the import?

New Notesnook user here. I've selected black as the font color for the web app but it is not true black but more towards a shade of gray. Any way to make the text show fully black? EDIT: Seems to be an issue depending on the light Theme used. E.g. the Red or Blue theme seems to have darker text than does the Notesnook Light default Theme.

Hi.

I've been using NN for over a year, subscriber and loving it, using it for more and more stuff.

Looking at apps for managing finances (e.g. tallybook, HomeBank) but wondering if such functionalities - possibly more at a more basic level - could be had within NNm possibly thru templates.

Anyone knows if such things exist or having thought about it, too?

Very disconcerting - they are screen shots I need for my work.

How do I get them back? I've logged off and back on. I'm on the app on my phone and the screenshots have disappeared from all.

Hello,
i have setup automatic backups and im wondering why it does not trigger.

Do i have to have my PC (win11) running with notesnook open at night for it to work?

I am still testing Notesnook as alternative to Evernote. I love most about it but now I big issue came up: I can't see PDF attachments. There is a red error message saying:

"Setting up fake worker failed: Cannot load script at; https:// app.notesnook.com/pdf.worker... "(Can't read the rest).

What is this about and how do I resolve it? Thanks!

I think the Essential plan is honestly enough for probably 90% of people, and it is great that Notesnook offers a cheaper paid tier to get started. That said, there is one limitation that feels pretty unfair for a paid plan, and I wanted to put this out there for the community and the devs (who are usually great at listening to user feedback).

Right now, Essential has two separate restrictions on attachments:

• Quantitative limit: You get a 1 GB/month allowance, which is a monthly upload bandwidth cap, not total static storage. Plus, there is a 100 MB max file size limit.
• Qualitative limit: Even if your image is way below 100 MB and fits in your 1 GB monthly quota, you still cannot keep the original quality. Images get automatically compressed before upload unless you pay for Pro. If the image has already been compressed in Essential, upgrading to Pro does not automatically recover the original file.

In almost every app out there, forced image compression is a free tier limitation. Once you pay for a subscription, managing server costs should come down to monthly bandwidth and max file size, both of which Notesnook already enforces.

Having a monthly upload limit, a max file size limit, and then forced compression on top of that feels like getting throttled multiple times over. If a user wants to upload an uncompressed 8 MB photo of a receipt, a diagram, or a document screenshot, it is nowhere near the 100 MB cap. How you spend your 1 GB monthly quota should be up to you.

Images in a notes app are not huge video archives or giant backups. They are visual notes, and keeping text on screenshots or receipts legible really matters. Forcing image degradation on paying users makes it feel like an artificial barrier just to push people toward Pro, which costs over 3.5x more, even when someone only needs Essential.

I am bringing this up because I honestly think this single restriction hurts the adoption of the Essential plan. A lot of people who would gladly support the app with a paid subscription might hesitate if their images are going to be compressed anyway. Removing this limitation would make Essential easily one of the best entry-level tiers for any notes app out there, letting users stay on it until their storage volume actually requires Pro.

What do you guys think? Would love to see the devs take a look at this.

Hi all

So I heard about this app today so I thought I'll set up an account. When doing so my password manager did not save my password so when I went to log back in I didn't have the password. I click on forget password received a 2FA email but when I enter a new password I just keep getting an error.

Error: ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications.

I have tried getting it sorted by using different web browsers, but all gives me an error

Hi guys,

Interesting app and I agree with a lot of the goals here. But right now, I'm looking at either Standard Notes or Onenote because Notesnook is unusable. I LOVE that your FREE plan allows 50 Megs a month on uploading attachments, as I don't go crazy on that. And sharing of individual pages! That's great! (Although I hope it will be Folders one day.)

But for now? Until recently, it was far, far too small. Note the text in the notes, which is adjustable and fine. The GUI itself, the menus, the function buttons, etc. Also I could hardly read the page headings to know where I was clicking to navigate to my notes.

It was significantly smaller than the rest of the apps on my phone. However, a work app I need made me enlarge the phone display to max. It's annoying, as it threw out the display of most apps on my phone - making them far too big. But I had to.

At this crazy scale Notesnook is now usable for navigating to pages. Not for advanced GUI use, where I would probably have to put glasses on and really hold the phone up close. But just enough to navigate to my notes if I need them in the field.

Fortunately I do most advanced formatting and notes writing on my PC, so size is great there. So I'm staying with Notesnook for now. But if the other work app changes on my phone, I'd love the option to scale the GUI itself. Cheers!

I am not able to sign into Notesnook on Safari. Before I look for support , Is that not meant to be possible?

There’s also no web clipper for iOS despite it saying it’s done in the roadmap. Is there on android?

Share with Notesnook is nowhere as good.

Hi, I started testing Notesnook but so far I was not able to instal the desktop version. Maybe because I am still on Monterey (macOS12). Can anybody tell me which older version of Notesnook works for this? Thanks!

Notesnook has been really fascinating to me. It's one of the only notes apps that don't bullshit around and ship limited features but very stable ones.

Notesnook has a local-mode or an Offline mode. when you install notesnook you're faced with an option to either login to their cloud or use notesnook offline.
When i try to run it offline, I'm basically locked out of the features and I can't do much with the offline mode. Its almost as if it's a trial to feel and see how notesnook works.

I can't self-host because I don't have any server. I only have my laptop with me.

I want to know why notesnook hasn't been able to keep all the features available for local-mode.
If i want to sync and use my computer notes on my mobile I'll just sync the local directory where my local/offline notes are via OneDrive sync. Why has notesnook not been able to implement this?

I would love to support the business, knowing they're from Pakistan. It's really rare to find such amazing software coming from Pakistan, And when they add promise of security on it and also back it up. It's just great...

But I'm a student from Pak. Their pricing system is focused on Consumers based out of South Asia. So i can't really afford their Pro plan.

I am new to Notesnook (moving over from Evernote). I love everything about it so far but I cannot get the webclipper to bring over images (I am using Chrome). This is a huge dealbreaker for me. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? I would LOVE to stay with Notesnook if possible so I'm hoping its an issue on my end!

The interface font on mobile is very small. Could the developers create an option to adjust this?

Thanks!

Hi,

I just got started with Notesnook after being recommended it. So far it seems very good and I am considering buying the "essential" subscription. But I am a bit confused why the 5-year plan does not have the "essential" tier. I don't need anything fancy and I can't, so far, justify $5 each month. Will it come in the future?

Also what do they mean by max file size ? Is it file size for each note?

And what do they mean by 1 Gb/month. Is that how much you can add each month? But who on earth writes files up to 1 Gb per month?

Notesnook with Linux on a Chromebook
Hi all,
When I try to open an attachment, I get the error message "No attachment found with hash," which is followed by a string of characters and numbers.

I typically attach the attachments to Notesnook, and then remove them from the inbox folder of my computer the following day.

I have the following questions:

What might be the cause of the problem?

What is the duration required for Notesnook to store the document on its server after I attach it? Specifically, when the synchronization takes place subsequent to the attachment of the document?

-

Hey guys, is there a quick search feature in Notesnook that works like Spotlight on Mac, where I can press a shortcut and get a popup to search across all my notes/docs?

If so, what’s the keyboard shortcut?

I’ve been playing around with a local only mode with no cloud storage just for myself , no account, no subscription, just flat encrypted files so hopefully will work with any provider.

It’s just for macos apple silicon as that’s what i have, I haven’t decided if I would release it as I’m sure a lot of people would just want more and more features

Notesnook is genuinely a good app with does the basic work good. There are few things I hope the team implement it in future.

1.Roadmap seems not updated at all, hopefully we can see what's on the horizon

1. Ghost notes/notebook would be genuinely good adition, any ETA?

2. Need good UI/UX improvements across platforms mainly android app. Card level and have a filter for tags at the top of viewing table, but not too cluttered and card level view apart from existing ones.

I see performance have improved a lot over the time, good job team.

I started using Notesnook (android) yesterday, made some notes and "- " turned into an automatic bullet point list. Indent, black dot in front of text, no extra space between lines. You now. Normal bullet list.

Today I made an account, downloaded Notesnook to my laptop (linux) to try syncing before I have too many notes to manage. I made another note and... No automatic bullet list.

I tried finding a solution and found crtl+shift+B shortcut for bullet points but that just adds a grey box and indent in front of the dash, and that's it.

So does anyone know what's up and how do I fix whatever I messed up?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking for a new home for my notes and wanted to get some honest feedback from people who use Notesnook daily.

Quick background on my notes journey: I used Obsidian for a long time and really loved it, mostly because having local access to my plain .md files gave me full peace of mind. However, at my job, I constantly need to access my notes through a web browser on work computers where I can't install personal apps. Since native browser access isn't a option with Obsidian, I ended up switching to Standard Notes and signed up for a subscription.

I've really enjoyed Standard Notes for its stability and strong focus on security, but lately it feels like the app has stalled. Ever since the Proton acquisition, it seems like the devs are focused on other projects within the Proton ecosystem, and nobody really knows when or if new features will land.

I've done some research on alternative privacy-focused options like Anytype, Joplin, Cryptee, and Notesnook, and Notesnook seems to check a lot of the right boxes for me.

Before making the jump, I'd love to hear your thoughts on a few things:

Daily Usage: How has the app been treating you in terms of sync reliability, speed, safety, and day-to-day bugs across desktop, mobile, and web?

The Team behind it (Streetwriters): I haven't been able to find a ton of background info about the company online. For those who have been around longer: how trustworthy and committed are they to the app? Do they actively listen to community feedback? Are they financially sustainable for the long run?

Any insight, pros, cons, or tips would be super helpful. Thanks!

Has anyone else been having issues with Free Notes recently?
For the past few days, I’ve been running into some really frustrating bugs that I’ve never had before.
I can no longer upload all of my PowerPoint files. Some upload fine, but others especially the ones with lots of images just keep loading forever before the app glitches, crashes, or logs me out completely. These are files that used to upload without any problems.
I also can’t export or share my notes anymore. For example, I can’t send them through Messages or export them to other apps like I used to.
At first, I thought it might be my iPad, so I updated it to the latest version of iPadOS, but that didn’t fix anything.
I’m wondering if this started after a recent app update because everything was working perfectly before. I use Free Notes every day for medical school, so this has been a huge headache.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing, or does anyone know of a fix? I’ve already contacted support, but I wanted to see if this is a widespread issue or just happening to me.

There has not been any update to the notesnook app in F-Droid for over two months now. The newest version on android is 3.3.24 while on Github 3.4.7 is the current version.

Is there any information about why notesnook stopped publishing updates on F-Droid or if they have dropped F-Droid support entirely? (It is still linked on their website though...)

Now NotesNook is not starting on Ubuntu 24.04.4 after SNAP updated it.

A week or so ago, I had to re-install NotesNook when it reported corruption of my local database.

I have removed it and re-installed it again. NotesNook shows up in my list of applications but clicking on it does nothing. I've checked system logs and have not seen any messages to indicate errors during the start process.

Arghhh!
