dol is a notes app you write in markdown. Your notes live on your device, and you decide which server they sync through. ■ Everything you would expect Live preview as you type. [[Wikilink]] autocompletion and backlinks. Search across titles and bodies. Find and replace inside a note. Nested folders and image attachments. ■ Sync that goes nowhere else Your iPhone, iPad, and the Windows and Mac apps all see the same notes, and they travel through a CouchDB server you choose. Run your own or use a host — either works. Setup takes about five minutes from the settings screen, and your password is stored only in the iOS keychain. ■ Sync is optional Leave it off and your notes stay on this device. No internet connection needed. ■ Import and export Bring in a folder of .md files you already have. Or go the other way: export every note and image as a single zip.
