CherryTree

A hierarchical note taking application, featuring rich text and syntax highlighting, storing data in a single xml or sqlite file.
- Cherry tree is a note taking app. Tagspaces is a tag-based file organizer. kris1 • Jul 2018 • 11 agrees and 4 disagrees
- Is not that they are dissimilar ... they are not even in the same ballpark!!! CherryTree is Onenote with a simpler look, and other features. Tagspaces is uncommon, and tags files and folders (the closest I've seen is directory opus with "descript.ion" files. Guest • Feb 2019 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees

QOwnNotes

Plain text notepad with markdown support and todo list manager for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, that works together with the notes application of ownCloud.

- QOwnNotes supports taking notes in MarkDown like TagSpaces. It allows local note storage. It supports tagging. It does not have management capabilities of images and such like TagSpaces. It has a better implemented tagging system (unless you have Sidecart files in TagSpaces) but how it manages them could be more visually appealing. QOwnNotes is written in Qt/C++. TagSpaces is written in JavaScript. hasues • Jan 2019 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees

TagSpaces Comments

Great tool with a catch

Comment by okin

It looks good, works well (and on many platforms) but there is one downside that makes me uncomfortable to use it: the tags do not get stored in any kind of database because they are stored in the filename.
This means that every time you tag a file its filename gets changed!
If this is no big deal for you go ahead and give it a shot!

JohnFastman · Jan 2017

TagSpaces Pro (the paid for version) has the option of storing tags in a "sidecar" file, rather than in the actual file name.

OriginalFlavor · Oct 2019

Sidecar files are presently included in the community edition. https://www.tagspaces.org/products/community/#tagSidecarSaving

It works with already existent files. You don‘t have to upload your files to a third party server.

The included text editor has source formatting. However to see the effects of your formatting you must change to "preview" mode. No WYSIWYG and not even a side-by-side edit/preview.
Too bad because it looks good otherwise. But totally a nonstarter for me.

Good alternative to Evernote
