Notebook – Markdown Notes

The ease of Notes. The freedom of files. Notebook keeps every note as a plain Markdown file, in your own iCloud Drive or any folder you choose. There is no vault to set up and nothing to import: your notes sit right next to the PDFs, photos and documents they belong with, and they stay yours. Obsidian and other Markdown apps open the same files. And it writes like Notes. Headings, bold, lists and checklists look finished as you type, and their Markdown marks show only on the line you're writing. Pictures, PDFs and drawings go right into the note. On the Mac, iPhone and iPad it's an Apple app through and through: widgets, Spotlight, Shortcuts, the share sheet, Apple Pencil and the keyboard shortcuts you know.
