A brilliant helpful notebook app

A notebook engine wrapped around giant storage that allows each file to maintain its original file format. Easy to keep in notes and easy to share with no proprietary notebook behavior.
Tasks! One line or an entire notebook can be turned into a tasks and a check box for a to-do list so it's also a to-do list engine interconnected to the storage files and the words in the notebooks. This is not your normal notebook app! Brilliant design. I love it and it synchronizes with all my devices including Mac. The developer is also incredibly kind, intelligent and attentive. Connected to family account, buy it once and share with the family. Huge value for the money. Highly recommend! 👏🏽💝🌹

Nice note app!

Been using Notebooks for years and like it a lot. It can do everything other note apps can and more, including inserting time stamps, location, etc. Well done.

Great notebook

Great Notebook, does what it states it does, the only notebook you need.

Minor Issue

I can’t swipe my document to another document, and I can’t make side-by-side documents either. I couldn’t even swipe document in side-by-side before as well. I am dissatisfied.

True Gem

I’ve had Notebooks for years and like many people, I’ve been tempted away by Bear, Notability, Obsidian, Notion etc. I’ve eventually come back to Notebooks and given it the commitment it deserves. I’ve now dumped iCloud and sync to my NAS via WebDAV. It is a total success, and the depth of usability keeps surprising me. It is ideal for quick notes, as well as complex content block editing using hyperlinks.
Markdown is now my default, which gives great formatting.
