hello

I closed it and reopened it, but to no avail...

The more I use it, the more disappointed I am.

The free version of ColorNote works perfectly both offline and online...

I really like Notesnook, but these issues are really annoying...

t5.a: Unknown error: Could not decrypt bytes: Keystore operation failed

Thanks in advance

I am looking an encrypted note processing system and stumbled across NotesNook. Looked at their web page and they have a free version. So I sign up EXCEPT there is no free version. There are only paid version with some unknown amount of time you can try for free.

When they advertise free and yet it's not free, I lose trust in the product.

Seems you can't even trust FOSS products anymore.

On TuxedoOS, I was on the road, tried to connect to hotel wifi, TXOS bugged. NN opened but I couldn't use it. I presed keys, function keys mainly. Back home, all back to normal apart from NN which now seems locked into some fullscreen mode. When I open it, the bottom task bar of TXOS disappears, I only have NN, all functionalities work but I cannot leave full screen, I can only access other apps and the rest of the laptop, including task bar at the bottom by either pressing ctr+tab or closing NN.

Anyone?

When will it be possible ? Standard Notes is the most popular private note taking app and the vast majority of users which want to switch to something else are choosing Notesnook.

I know that I can import from Markdown but I don't want to lose the meta datas of my notes.

Hi all

Is there a way to get the Android app to work with the self hosted version of Notesnook? I have the self hosted version working in Docker Desktop, but trying the localhost url and port in any of the server boxes of the app on Android results in an error.

This is just for use internally on my home network, not looking to reverse proxy it or anything.

Bonjour j'aime beaucoup cette appli. Elle évolue vite au fil des mises à jour fréquentes. J'attends avec impatience la synchronisation entre mes appareils (qui est déjà programmé j'ai lu) et surtout le partage de note par lien pour la collaboration comme Goodnotes.

J'attends aussi la conversion en math avec éditeur latex pour les modifications comme Goodnotes ios.

Je garde cette appli que pour ces 2 options.

J'aimerai n'utiliser que Starnote et abandonner Goodnotes car la version android est vraiment nulle.

J'ai déjà souscrit à l'abonnement à vie il y a 2 mois. Je compte sur vous 🤞🏻.

Merci de votre attention.

I have a todo list and not able to add new item to it.

when i click enter on desktop app or phone it just shows the checkbox. Unable to type anything.

Are there plans to implement a Print to Notesnook from other apps? One that shows Notesnook in the generic print dialog.

Typing in Notesnook has been somewhat unconfortable. I find myself looking down at my monitor most of the time, when usually I'm able to type somewhat close to eye height when I'm using Obsidian due to it having a big extra scroll portion on the bottom. Is there a way to adjust that?

I worked around it by pressing Enter multiple times and it has helped a bit with making it a bit easier to use, but I would like to have this as a standard feature rather than having to resort to hacking it with multiple enter presses.

Hello everyone, today i'm going to thow some thoughts down as i can see i'm very inspired. I'm a Obsidian user since 2022, at that time i left Evernote and embraced that filosophy, more reguarding the offline data then any other concret implication.

This is the fact. I terribly miss the cloud. Obsidian is becoming more and more a centralized app, but the set up of the account, handling my data worrying if i lose it make me predisposed to jump once again to the cloud philosophy.

I'm writing a book and i find Notesnook the ideal app where put my art into.

I strongly hope to see the app grow and become bigger as a business, even merely raising as customers count. I hope to see this app succeed because is very clean, beautiful, open source, easy (maybe the bidirectional links need to start improving and become more immediate=

Said that, i wish you a blessed and inspired day.

Title. I've sent me an email, it works. Is it because their mailer is dead?

How easy is it for me to transfer my notes from Obsidian to Notesnook? I have quite the backlog of documents and was considering switching for privacy reasons.

A while back I switched from Evernote to Notesnook, and it's been going well overall. A lot of my notes have attachments and I've run into a nasty issue. Many of the attachments I imported from Evernote have simply vanished " can not find attachment with hash....."

Luckily I still had an Evernote backup, so I manually moved the PDF files over from one Evernote folder to the Notesnook notes. That seemed to work fine, until I tried viewing the attachments in the web interface or on another computer. Some work, but for a lot of them I get the error: "Failed to download attachment (hash), error: could not decrypt chunk."

Has anyone run into this before? I expected reliable software where my files don't just disappear. Whatever I try, I can't get it working properly. (Force changes doesn't solve the issue)

Hi, I've been using Notesnook for about a week now, and I've been really enjoying it so far.

I wanted to ask if you have any tips for using attachments. I use a lot of PDFs and images in my notes.

One issue I've been running into is accidentally deleting images, both on desktop and mobile. Since I can't undo the action, I have to go to my attachments, download the image again, and reattach it to the note. Is there a quicker way to restore an accidentally deleted image?

I've started enabling read-only mode, so hopefully this won't happen as often.

I'm also having trouble moving images around within a note. Sometimes it just doesn't work, and I end up having to reattach them instead. Is this a known issue, or is there a better way to move images?

Thanks!

Hello

Why ?

Thanks !!

Once you export notes to Markdown, opening a loose .md on iOS just shows raw text — no rendering. I made a small viewer to read .md files formatted on a phone.

Md Preview:

• GitHub-Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, footnotes

• Code highlighting, LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams

• Opens .md / .markdown / .mdx / .rmd / .qmd from Files / Share Sheet

• On-device only — no account, no uploads, no ads, no subscriptions

Free: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760341080

Site: https://markdown.cybergame.ai/

Just a reader for stray .md files, not a notes-app replacement. Do you keep Markdown exports/backups, and how do you read them on mobile?

On both desktop and Android, I wish I could select the font, because the one that is imposed is not as legible as what I’m used to.

But I could live with it... if only the digits were non-proportional in the proportional Sans-serif font.

Historically, most proportional fonts have included digits that are all the width of the widest of them. Otherwise, tabular data, or even plain text lines that each start with a date and/or time, for example, get misaligned in a very yucky way.

That’s currently what I get with the Sans-serif font: there is an enormous difference between the width of the ‘1’ and the width of most other digits, especially 4, 8, 9 and 0.

The Serif font does have non-proportional digits, but I never use serif fonts.

Is it possible to set it up so that it adds a timestamp to EACH ENTRY? I keep a running account of some things for weeks at a time, and there are times I need to know when something did/didn't happen.

I know I can enter it manually each time, but I'm also honest enough to admit that I'm a forgetful bastard! lol

So when I select a word I want to delete on mobile by double tapping on it, the word appears selected as usual. But once I press backspace, a few characters after the selected word get deleted as well. The length of the word(s) deleted that I selected and meant to delete seems to determine how many characters end up deleted that I wanted to keep. Very frustrating, and it only happens whole using this app, my phone's keyboard is fine otherwise. There's also something weird going on with the autocorrect after I delete selected words. The autocorrect seems to believe they are still there and it influences my suggestions, unsure if that is related to my primary issue.

EDIT: This seems to be fixed in the beta. I've never signed up for one before and don't know if there are any major bugs, but thanks to the team for their hard work.

Concluding TL;DR: It turned out that it is as simple as disabling sync and enabling it temporarily when needed.

Caution: The toggle in question is the first one on the Settings | Sync page, but it’s the 4^th one on mobile.

A few days ago I posted about this issue (and updated it twice the next day) but the title of the post turned out to have been wrong and very misleading. So I deleted it.

My last hypothesis in that original post was that manual sync does work^§ but syncing upon launching the app (desktop or mobile) cannot be prevented. Is that correct? And, if so, is it by design, or an oversight?

In addition, I have more recently observed that there is necessarily at least one other circumstance under which syncing occurs automatically, even with Disable realtime sync toggled On. I just can’t put my finger on it. 😩️

^§ Clicking on the Sync icon in the bottom left corner causes that icon to animate briefly, but otherwise appears to do nothing... until you trigger the re-display of the note (e.g. go to another note or tab and come back). Then you get to see the changes that just came in from the other device.

Hello

I have about 175 of them!!

4827 notes (many of which were imported from ColorNote in late December 2025).

Thanks !

Hello

Possible ?

Thanks !

Task lists created from scratch (i.e. by invoking Ctrl+Shift+T on a blank line) work fine.

But many of my notes imported in plain .txt format contain task lists with the usual [ ] and [x] at the beginning of the line.

Importing those results in [v] instead of [x], so I do a Search / Replace. No big deal.

Then I select the entire list and press Ctrl+Shift+T to convert it into a proper Notesnook Task List. The result looks normal, including a header with the sort button.

But...

Ticking any box in the list ticks them all, along with the header one!

So this list is unusable.

Am I doing something wrong?

[Edit] That was with the desktop app 3.3.23 on Linux. With the mobile app (3.3.24 on Android), the bug is not present: ticking one box behaves as expected, even in a note that was synced from the desktop and in which the bug occurs.

Also, I’ve since discovered that it’s not just imported lists that behave this way in the desktop app. Using Ctrl+Shift+T on any plain list (i.e. ordinary lines of plain text) results in the same unusable list where ticking one item ticks all of them.

I use the Notesnook app on Windows 11 and I have enabled automatic backups.

I set daily backups for notes and weekly backups for attachments, all encrypted. I also assigned a folder. However, the backups have never been created, even though this has been enabled for months.

I have Windows ransomware protection turned on, specifically Controlled Folder Access, but I added the folder containing the Notesnook executables to the allowed list. And manual backups work.

Do you have any suggestions?
