Write in Markdown with a focused editor that stays readable as your notes grow. Keep headings, tags, inline images, and long-form writing in one place without turning your workflow into a cluttered document system. Plan work in the same library where you write. WashiNote keeps notes, tasks, and projects connected, so quick ideas, scheduled tasks, and larger project material do not drift apart. Capture more than text: - Record meetings and turn speech into editable note text - Attach PDFs, text files, HTML, images, and audio - Import readable content for search and AI workflows - Save web material through browser sharing flows Recall what you saved: - Search across notes, tasks, projects, and attachments - Use AI to retrieve, summarize, and organize what matters - Build read-only knowledge pages from your own material - Keep related ideas visible through connected context Stay local-first by default. Core writing, planning, capture, and AI workflows work without turning the app into a cloud-dependent workspace. When you want more portability, Pro unlocks iCloud sync across devices, note export, purchase restore, and encrypted `.washi` backup tools. WashiNote is built for people who want a quieter, more durable way to think: one workspace for writing, planning, capturing, and finding things again.

About

Noteline

Read full description

Noteline is a fast, minimal note app for people who write in Markdown. Type a # and it becomes a heading. Type **bold** and it turns bold โ€” right where you typed it. Noteline gives you live preview: your formatting renders inline as you write, so there's no split-screen and no clutter. Just clean text that quietly becomes a clean document. Your notes are plain .md files stored on your device. No account, no sign-in, no servers of ours โ€” and if you want them on your other devices, you can keep the folder in your own iCloud Drive. Open them, back them up, move them, or edit them in any other Markdown app. Noteline works fully offline and stays out of your way. Every note is plain Markdown โ€” the same format AI tools read and write โ€” so your notes stay usable by whatever you reach for next. It's the calm, focused place to think, take notes, and write. Features: โ€ข Live preview Markdown โ€” headings, bold, italics, lists, and checkboxes render inline as you type โ€ข Local-first โ€” your notes are plain .md files on your device โ€ข Works fully offline โ€” no connection required, ever โ€ข No account, no sign-in โ€” nothing to set up โ€ข Open format โ€” your files stay portable and yours โ€ข The format AI speaks โ€” plain Markdown that AI tools read and write directly โ€ข Minimal, distraction-free interface โ€ข Checklists and task lists for quick to-dos โ€ข Fast and lightweight No ads.
