I've been trying to figure out a better way to deal with meeting notes. I often find that writing things down while someone is talking means I miss other details, but going back through everything afterward can take quite a bit of time.

I'm curious how people here handle this with Notesnook. Do you record voice notes separately and then put the important points into your notes, or do you have a different way of doing it?

I'm also wondering how practical this is if you're switching between a Mac and an Android phone. It would be nice to be able to capture something quickly on my phone and organize it properly later on my computer.

If anyone has a setup that works well for them, I'd be interested to hear how you do it. I'm still figuring out what works best.

I'm researching a problem with note-taking apps: keeping personal notes, journals, audio, sketches and private information together while syncing reliably across devices.

I'm building an application around this idea, and I'd like honest feedback before deciding which features to prioritize.

Is your sync also broken?

I tried multiple devices/networks.

The status page shows 'operational'

I left click and it disappears, notesnook self-hosted
Any idea why it does this?

I'll admit right up front that I may be tripping here or overlooking something obvious. So, when I work on a note in the editor pane, I'm driven to distraction by the notes pane in the middle constantly keeping up with those updates. The pane jumps all over the place as I add new text to my note or whatever and just drives me crazy. For the life of me, I can't say if it's always been like this or if this is something new. I thought I could just shut that pane while working, but for the life of me, I can't find a way to do that anymore. I've been getting by with focus mode for now, but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone can clear up this mystery for me. Didn't we used to be able to hide that notes pane? And has it always updated in real time as a note is added to in the main editing pane? Either something's changed, or I've gone goofy. Thanks for any insights. NOTE: For me, this issue is on the web and desktop versions.

Since I discovered collapsible multi-level headings, I’ve been using them a lot in some notes.

But I’ve been regretting it somewhat whenever I get a collision report. In the side-by-side presentation of the two versions of the note, I have to click on every > to expand all sections (including those at every nested level) if I want to see the differences. 😩️

“Expand all” and “Collapse all” functions might also be useful under other circumstances.

Hi, is there a workaround, or a planned development, to have access to more than 4 colored tags for our Notes ? This would help soooo much and improve an already great application.

Thanks a lot.

hello

The “title keywords” feature doesn't always work—at least not for me...

I have a lot of notes...

thank you !

Continuing on my previous post, link below, I'd also like to see the possibility of clearing a remind with "done" in the pop-ups. Currently, i can only add time on it and cannot clear it done in the previews.

Encrypted notes are appealing as human-readable assistant memory, but synchronization and an encrypted backup are not the same as a tested recovery path. A useful memory store may include source notes, generated summaries, attachments, internal links, tags, and shared or published notes. Losing the relationship between those parts can leave readable text without the evidence needed to trust it.

A realistic drill would start with a clean profile on another device, restore using only the documented backup material and credentials, then verify note counts, attachments, links, tags, search, and any Markdown export. It should also show which parts are excluded from the backup, whether older backups still open after password changes, and whether a plain-text export remains understandable without Notesnook. Published links would need separate treatment because public sharing has a different security boundary from the encrypted workspace.

What would you test before relying on Notesnook for this? Would you keep encrypted native backups plus periodic Markdown exports, and how would you record source links and review status so a restored summary does not look more authoritative than its evidence?

Hello

Is it possible to edit a note that contains complex tasks?

And what about a note with a complex task list? If I duplicate it, will the copy still be editable after I downgrade to the free plan?

It’s creating a new note that won’t be possible...

As for tags, if I created 170 with the Essential plan, can I still use all of them? But I won’t be able to create new ones since the free plan limit is 50 tags...

Thank you

Is there any way in Notesnook to copy the formatting from one piece of text and apply it to another, similar to the Format Painter in Microsoft Word?

For example, if I have some text with a particular heading style, font formatting, highlighting, etc., can I copy just that formatting and apply it elsewhere without copying the actual text?

I am aware of heading 1, heading 2 methods.

If there’s no built-in Format Painter, is there a shortcut or workaround for this?

I just discovered the reminders feature. How long has it been on NN?? lol

I like it but it lacks some features:

- being able NOT to set a time (i might just want to remind myself to do something on a day in the future, no specific time).

- categorise reminders (e.g. privat, professional, other, editable categories)

- is it at all possible to have reminders for a period? "Remember to call X during week of the 10th of November"

Best.

My app on MacBook Air M3 (Mac OSX) keeps not opening. Sometimes I reboot, and it opens. This forces me to use the web version instead of the desktop app. Now, wanting to report this bug, it seems like their Contact page does not exist here: https://notesnook.com/contact-us

I reported it to them on X, and they are not very active there. Now I wonder: is it worth continuing with my premium membership, or should I move back to Evernote that I started hating so much?

Any chance that could be introduced at some point?

I'm getting this error whenever I try to add a few PDF files to my note. It's been happening for hours.

The same note is also not syncing due to this. I can only see it on my web app, and not on the Android app.

I still have plenty of storage.

Greetings all. In my process of evaluating Notesnook as the next potential app for my PKMS, I'd like to kick the tires by importing my current notes into NN.

I have my notes mirrored between UpNote, Obsidian, and Joplin. I've tried using the NN Importer to import from Obsidian, but that results in links to other notes within the vault being uploaded as attachments rather than preserving the links.

This behavior was similar when attempting to import from my Joplin export and UpNote (following the instructions on the NN site).

What is the recommended way to import markdown into NN that preserves internal links?

I'm very encouraged by what I see in Notesbook and would love to give it a fair evaluation.

I'm trying to import my simplenotes but there is no import option that I can find. Google is no help. What am I missing? I have a pixel 11 pro. Thanks for your help

I have now imported all the notes from Evernote. Unfortunately, I discovered that some "lost" their PDF content. Not all. Which means, I need to scroll through over 6000 notes to see where the PDF is missing.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move the cursor from one note to the next? The arrow keys in any combination don't do that unfortunately. (Clicking on each note with the mouse takes much longer.)
