Code Notes was developed to free you from tutorial hell by helping you retain crucial coding concepts as you learn how to code. Often times, studying code takes so much longer because foundational concepts are forgotten as you move forward through tutorials. Code Notes helps to prevent this by making study, revision and looking up code concepts so much easier. Code Notes offers the convenience of syncing your notes to iCloud making your notes available to all your devices and on multiple platforms. It uses a simple and straightforward interface which is great for beginners. It avoids the complication of needing to know formatting styles like markdown to create notes. Instead, notes are created in easy to add segments of code snippets with syntax highlighting, description blocks with a rich text editor and image attachments. Notes are organised in folders by programming language and tags can be used to filter notes. Code Notes Plus is available by monthly or annual subscription and offers premium benefits. It includes AI code analysis to help you breakdown and understand complex code logic. You can compile and run your code snippets directly in your notes.
