About

Notable is a Markdown-based desktop note-taking app built around local files, tags, attachments, powerful editing, and a no-lock-in philosophy.

Notable remains a relevant in-scope addition for Markdown-first desktop note-taking. The official site and repository emphasize local file storage, GitHub Flavored Markdown, nested tags, attachments, fuzzy search, split editing, no vendor lock-in, and future paid sync features for web and mobile. It is not a collaborative docs suite; it is a local-first Markdown note app with a polished desktop UX.
