iCloud issue
Probably the best notes app available. iCloud sync doesnt seem to work fully though. I have notebooks that are local and others that I set to sync with iCloud and basically nothing happens, they remain local. iCloud is on for the app in settings, not sure if it takes time because its just text files. I have pressed the sync button multiple times.

Response from developer
Thank you for the kind words and for the detailed report! Good news: sync is likely working, it just isn’t visible where you’re expecting it. When a notebook is set to sync with iCloud, its files are stored in the NotesHub folder at the root of your iCloud Drive. You can confirm this in the Files app: iCloud Drive > NotesHub. If your notes are there, the notebook is syncing correctly. One important detail: notebooks don’t appear automatically on your other devices. On each device, you need to add the same notebook manually (Add Notebook > iCloud Drive, then select the existing folder). Once added, notes will sync between them. If things still don’t line up after checking those two things, please email us at support@noteshub.app and we’ll help you sort it out directly.
Unusable
MacOS application worked fine for git integration, but web and iOS apps both fail with “An error occurred”.
Response from developer
Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the inconvenience. We’d like to get this resolved for you. Could you contact us at support@noteshub.app with your diagnostics info: Settings -> Diagnostics and repo size, and iOS version.
Last update broke the app
Since the last update, I can no longer open the app in Apple Mac Air M1. It only shows a black screen.
I nornally love the app.

Great program
I couldn’t be happier with this program, and with the great support from the developer.
Great program
Great feature set for my needs, and I really appreciate that it’s cross platform and supports github syncing.

Best most stable note taking app
This app solved so many cross-platform issues for me. Absolutely fantastic app. Worth the small one-time purchase fee.
Exactly what I needed
Finally an app that works with Git for my notes! Thank you NotesHub, team!
Perfect Notes App
Had to write a review because I’ve tried so many different notes apps and this is by far the best. It’s simultaneously simple and flexible for all sorts of different types of projects and note-taking styles. The GitHub backup is also a great way to have synced copies of your notes that you can download and view in any text reader. Excited to see how this app evolves.

More open and compatible OneNote alternative
I was concerned about not being able to get my data out of OneNote or use it with other OSes like Linux so I’m very happy with NotesHub. The feature set is not the same, but I don’t use handwriting or floating text boxes (and OneNote doesn’t support Markdown).
Just Works
Easy to use, no useless menus, just notes and git.
Great Notes Tool—with Handy Extras
For context, I’m a chronic app changer and constantly on the hunt for Notes/Calendar/Task list app combo that can do all 3 well, so I’ve used Evernote, Amplenote, Notion, TickTick, Todoist, Things3, Apple Notes/Reminders/Calendar, plus a handful of others I’ve sampled like Obsidian, Coda, Anytype, Logseq, OneNote—and despite some lack of features in the whiteboard and kanban modes, NotesHub has won my loyalty.
I’ll dive into individual features below, but 5e fact I can mix and match object types in a folder (kanban board alongside notes alongside whiteboards) is really nice, and having near real-time sync after saving changes is super handy. The fact that you can type notes on multiple devices and have the conflicts in versions reflected visually is super cool!
NOTES
Pros: NotesHub s GREAT for note-taking because of how flexible the formatting is—I can have text alongside charts, tables, etc. in a note, I can link to other notes in any folder, I can do a table of contents, and my gosh the Callouts are soooo nice! it’s also up to you how complex your note is because it gets out of your way and doesn’t force formatting.
Cons: There’s a bit of setup to get it to sync across multiple devices (I use GitHub since I am not isolated to just the Apple ecosystem).
WHITEBOARD
The whiteboarding tool is nice and supports the flexibility of the notes with the visual elements you’d expect. I don’t use it much, but if I didn’t already have a whiteboard tool at work (Miro), this functionality would be enough for me.
KANBAN:
Pros: The kanban features are about the weakest feature set for a couple reasons, but the shortcomings are something I can live with. The positives are the ability to set deadlines, task sizes like points/hours/days, and full markdown support in the description as well as tagging to bring these up easier in the search.
Cons: There’s no way to set a “Done” column that will complete the task automatically as it basically functions like a visual wrapper around a header, but if you give it a deadline you can mark it done and that visually indicates its completion with a green icon. As far as subtasks/task hierarchy, if you put checkboxes in the task you can make subtasks (again, indicated with an icon on the parent task in the board view) but these don’t show in the kanban board and you have to open the task to see them. If you need a complex task manager, look elsewhere, but for just keeping a simple organized task list it’s fine.

Killer product!
If you want a text based file format that you can edit directly, synching across devices, and don’t need a billion features, this a great choice. I’m very happy.
GUI is simple, design is clean, support is fast and responsive.
In my case I wanted a basic Kanban program that wasn’t going to charge me annually for life. It does exactly what I wanted. I haven’t tried the git backing store, but I’ll probably switch to that at some point.

Updated: Great alternative without subscription notes
Key Features: (1) no subscription (pay for the app, I paid it 3x for iPhone, iPad, Mac) (2) no storage cap that I have seen (3) developer(s) has been adding QOL updates (can finally control F). This is not the Mercedes of Note Taking. Those features (live auto-sync, native drawing options, etc) are all behind a subscription pay wall. This is the best “Free” (web-based is free, but just pay for the app. It’s cheap) note taking app.

Simple app. Does what it does. Free is the best part
Edit 2: Okay I’m having problems again. I cannot load my big files at all to my iPad. It keeps having a sync error. I can sync my other notes (smaller files). I can sync on my iPhone, my Mac. I recently bought the app on an Android. I have yet to try. please fix. This app is great. When it works
If you know, you know
If you’re looking for an apple notes clone, this isn’t for you. If you are looking for the BEST advanced yet simple .md app with full syncing capabilities this is for you!
Finally what I need
Simple, but powerful, github+markdown - thats all I need for notes taking. Thank you, author!
WOW, this note app is Sci-Fi. There’s nothing it does not do !
Markdown (included callouts), mermaid diagrams, code blocks, maths expressions, image and video embeddings, Sync with github, multi platforms (mobile, pc), kanban cards, drawings, illustration libraries… You won’t regret it !
Great App
Exactly what I needed to write a Labook for my research lab ! Great job.
Lost all data
Two hours of work gone – into the void. Why does the app not save everything automatically? I figured that it's necessary to "update" all changes to cards in the kanban board – but I didn't realize you have to save the board itself, too. What a bummer.
