What is Iotas?
Iotas is a simple but elegant solution for notes especially but not only for GNOME users. Through Nextcloud integration, all notes can be kept in sync and accessed on different devices.
Although simple by design there are a few features:
- Sync. with Nextcloud Notes
- Offline note editing, syncing when back online
- Basic search
- Favorites
- Spell checking
- Category editing and filtering
- Note backup and restoration from CLI for using without sync.
- The ability to change font size and toggle monospace style
Writing in markdown is supported but optional, featuring:
- Syntax highlighting with themes
- Formatted render view
- The ability to check off task lists from the rendered markdown
Slightly more technical details, for those into that type of thing
- Nextcloud Notes sync. is via the REST API, not WebDAV, which makes it snappy
- There's basic sync. conflict detection
- Notes are constantly saved
- Large note collections are partially loaded to quicken startup

Great Markdown editor for Linux! It's simple, lightweight, and you can easily sync your notes with Nextcloud.
Iotas is a great note taking tool for everyone who wants to use Nextcloud Notes on Desktop Linux. It syncs automatically and looks minimalistic but beautiful.
