What is UpNote?
UpNote is an elegant and powerful note app that works seamlessly across platforms: iOS, Android, Mac and Windows.
UpNote is designed to help you take notes easily and stay focused on what matters most.
UpNote has beautiful fonts and elegant themes that you can adjust to make your writing experience most comfortable and pleasant.
You can immerse yourself in writing with focus mode. The design is clean and minimal which helps you stay free from any distraction. You could also enable typewriter mode to focus on your writing.
UpNote is an ideal place to keep your diary and journal. It has a powerful lock feature so that you can rest assured that your notes stay private and secure.
UpNote’s intuitive organizing system will keep your note space neat and light. There are many ways to organize your notes: putting them into notebooks, pinning your notes to the top of the note list, bookmarking them for quick reference or linking to other notes. You can also close any notebooks to focus on only most important one.
UpNote’s rich editor makes it perfect for planning and managing your tasks. Simply write down your to-do list and have them synced to all your devices.
UpNote offers highlight, text colors, table, nested list, code and many other important formatting tools so that you could easily format your notes.
UpNote syncs notes instantly on all devices. It also works reliably offline, so you could take note anytime, anywhere.
If you are a markdown user, UpNote is great for you too. It has intuitive shortcuts based on markdown, which makes it more fun to write notes. You can also export your notes to Markdown or PDF.
If your Mac has touch bar and Touch ID, UpNote supports them too. The touch bar helps you apply formats quickly without using a mouse. You can also use Touch ID to securely unlock your notes.









Comments and Reviews
Very fast sync on all platforms, great editor and easy, practical organization features and really modern and good looking. Great overall even in the free tier.
I made an AlternativeTo account just to post this five-star review. I left Evernote about seven years ago when its UI and performance fell apart. Since then I’ve tried Logseq, Tana, and finally Obsidian—though that needed about 15 plugins before it felt right. I even stuffed notes into Todoist, which soon turned into a mess.
UpNote gets it right. It’s simple without losing the must-have features. I love that a single note can sit in multiple notebooks, sync is fast and solid, and each notebook can have its own sort order.
Only catch: notes live unencrypted on Firebase servers in the U.S., so I keep anything really private elsewhere.
UpNote Android app does have image support, but you can't zoom in for detail the way you can on Google Keep.
it's a very well made app, with one time purchase. it is cloud-based and not offline-first. other than that it's perfect it has : back linking , tags, export, ... , etc.
The UI is gorgeous. Clean, very efficient, and Markdown is a pleasure to use. The first note application I use I leave opened on my desk. It’s a real pleasure to use it every day. It’s a real modern note application.
UpNote looks promising but all data is stored in FireBase, unencrypted. Basically there's no privacy. Too bad.
Simple organization of notes, clean UI, diaries, support many functions. Copy paste images. Working on iOS, Windows and Linux.
