## What is Nimbus Note?

Powerful notes app and organizer that helps you gather and organize your information — all in one place. There’s no need to spend time searching for your notes anymore. Create text notes, scan documents and make to-do lists. Synchronize it all with Nimbus Note for future viewing and editing on other devices.

Conveniently manage your notes

- Create notes in the editor with formatting support — bold, strike, underline, etc.
- Add pictures, audio, video, documents, and other types of files. 
- Scan and digitise any paper documents and pictures using the camera device. The text recognition feature will let you work with scanned files as well as regular notes.

Organize your notes

- Workspaces - separate personal information from the work-related kind. Create separate databases of notes (with own folders and tags) for different purposes within a single account;
- Create folders and subfolders;
- Add context to notes using tags;
- Use special color labels to make most relevant notes and folders stand out from the list;
- Add most important notes to Favorites;

Group collaboration on notes

- Invite other people to collaborate on notes;
- Assign editing rights to each participant (admin, can edit, or reading only);

Get complete control over your workflow and daily errands

- Add to-do lists to your notes;
- Set time reminders for your tasks;

Your notes available anywhere, anytime

- All of your notes are available on any of your devices — anytime, anywhere;
- Create a note on your iPhone, add to that note on your Mac, and finish it later in a browser;
- Offline access to your notes.

Document scanner in your phone

- Scan documents, pictures, handwritten notes;
- Auto-define document borders;
- Special filters allow making the document black and white or enhance the colors;

Security

- Nimbus Note is optionally protected with an additional passcode;

Powerful search

- Nimbus Note can search through not only text but also images;
- Search for text in docs/xls/html/ppt and pdf files;
- The unique search snippets will let you see the required text fragment without opening the note itself;
- You can find entire words as well as word fragments (for example, the search will find "conscious" in "consciousness");

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

- Large attached files;
- Premium support;
- More information in every note;

### 5/5 — Powerful and versatile tool

*2026-05-12, version 9.9.0*

I use it with my team. Quitte impressive

### 5/5 — OCR Capability for Notes

*2026-04-09, version 9.9.0*

I‘m very happy to have discovered this app. It allows me to create notes from my readings, drawing on the OCR function to scan selected text. Also important is the ability to organize notes by folders, including folders. In addition, one can mark portions of the text through the use of colored highlights, fonts, and the like.

### 5/5 — Great for notes and screenshots

*2025-11-30, version 9.9.0*

This app is much better than Evernote because the screenshot and sharing allow for great collaboration

### 5/5 — Better than notion as it has better folder structure and AI search

*2025-11-02, version 9.9.0*

Better than notion as it has better folder structure and AI search

I like it

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-04-16, version 9.9.0*

In every way. At last.

### 5/5 — I love it! My favorite note taking app

*2025-04-12, version 9.9.0*

My mind is all over the place and I have such great random thoughts at the most inopportune times. So a note taking app is crucial for me to remember all those musings in my head. Nimbus Note has been the perfect place to store everything but not only I think about, discover in my travels. It’s well worth the subscription and I keep discovering new, exciting ways of doing what I did in other apps. Now I have everything in one place thankfully. Love Nimbus Note!

### 3/5 — Good note app but roadmap is odd

*2025-04-02, version 9.9.0*

I’ve been a user of Nbus extensively for many years. It’s a very functional note taking app with a bunch of added benefits but I’m never quite sure the direction the dev team are trying to take it. Is it a client portal? A CRM? A lot of the basic features like sorting workspaces based on name, archiving and even updating this app seem to have taken a back seat.
