It’s a nice application, and easy to use. I only haven’t found out how I can set a directory; Marknote saves in /home/[user]/Documents/Notes, which is okay, but I’d like to be able to set the directory myself.

It does not work correctly under Windows, unlike under Linux. Some fonts appear distorted, the backspace key does not work, the mouse cursor disappears (becomes invisible) etc. etc. Unusable!

It's a good plan with horrible Windows port with heavy memory usage. It could have been a good successor to ResophNotes, but with changing text sizes and others bugs it's just a terrible job. There are much better, fresh alternatives to this genre like AppFlowy (which is already lot more polished at below 1.0 state).

I don't see a way to export notes.

Clean and pretty app. Essential features are yet to be added, but that's okay. No app-breaking bugs, mobile support, local storage only.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

A simple and lightweight Markdown-based note-taking application. Great integration with KDE.

500 MB uncompressed and 500 MB on RAM maybe a lot of things but not lightweight.

It's fine software if you want rich text for what most people today are moving to markdown.

I could not use it for anything more than quick notes, due to the lackluster tree situation. I require folders inside folders. Copious amounts of them, and easily able to navigate graphically.

Simple and efficient notebook. Wish i could directly type in markdown format characters though !
