Tree Notebook is a hierarchical notes manager designed for keeping personal information. Tree Notebook runs on an iOS device (iPhone or iPad). Besides, there is a counterpart for OS Windows which can be synchronized with up to three iOS devices via a local Wi-Fi network. No access to Internet is needed for synchronizing. The data in Tree Notebook is divided in two parts: the public part accessible without password and the encrypted private part which requires password for opening. The data in every part is arranged as a tree-like multilevel hierarchy of folders and notes. Any folder can include notes and other folders, and so fourth. Any item (a note or a folder) can include text of any size. The items can keep attachments like images or other files. The app can represent data in several ways: as a tree, as a list of items (folders and notes) on the current level, as a list of manually selected items ("Favorites"), or the items visited recently ("History"). The contents of an individual item can be viewed or edited. Tree Notebook includes powerful search facilities: simplified or conditional global search, local search inside an item text. The items can be sorted by several criteria: alphabetically, by creation or modification time, and in manually defined order. The item titles can be attributed using a variety of font types, colored flags, graphic icons. Any item can have an Event attribute and serve as an alarm clock or reminder. A calendar feature is available to help managing events. The app is free to use both on iOS devices and desktop PC.

Ranked #4 on the daily ranking of Product Hunt, the world's largest product launch platform! ----- "Knowledge is built from multiple pieces of knowledge" is the concept behind this note-taking app. Each note consists of multiple text blocks, which can be individually copied or deleted. By adding links to other notes, you can refer to them while editing your current note. The main features are as follows: - Categorize notes with tags - Copy or delete individual text blocks within a note - Add links to other notes for reference - Text formatting using Markdown syntax (more options will be added) - note duplication (this allows for template-like usage) We hope that Linky Notes will help you organize your information more effectively in the future!
