KleverNotes – note taking and management application

KleverNotes is a note taking and management application for your mobile and desktop devices. It uses Markdown, a lightweight markup language to format text in a simple and readable way, and allows you to preview your content.

Create and preview a Markdown note while giving you the freedom to customize the preview from settings or using a CSS theme. You can organize your notes however you want with a combination of categories and groups, which will be directly reflected on your system in the hierarchy of your KleverNotes storage folders. Simply choose your storage location and you’re ready to write

KleverNotes supports different versions of Markdown thanks to the md4qt parser with which the project works closely.

Key Features

  • Print your notes, add small sketches and even create specific tasks for each of them, all from the application.
  • Notes are saved as Markdown files in your KleverNotes storage for easy access. They support the entire CommonMark specification with extensive syntax.
  • Small collection of opt-in “plugins” to extend basic markdown features, such as: code highlighting, note linking, quick emoji, etc.

This is free and open source software.
