Read full description

Abox Note is a lightweight Markdown note app with note organization, web previews, PDF export, long screenshots, and site publishing. Capture ideas anytime, organize them with spaces and nested tags, then export or share your notes—or publish them as a blog or documentation site. [Plain-text Markdown] Write Markdown in a plain-text editor with line numbers. Notes are stored as plain text for easy migration and long-term access. Capture fragments first, then rearrange and combine them later. [Simple organization] • Single-level spaces for broad categories • Nested tags for detailed organization (work/project, reading/design/ideas) No deep folder hierarchies, so there is less to manage.
