"No, Daino Notes is not open source. It is based on my previous note-taking app Notes, which is fully open source. In accordance with the Mozilla Public License (MPL) used in Notes, all the source code files from Notes that were modified and incorporated into Daino Notes are made available in this repository. This is primarily why this repository exists. Another reason is to track bug reports and feature requests." - https://github.com/nuttyartist/daino-notes-public

This is not the same app. Daino Notes icon Daino Notes is this one.

I may have gotten confused, sorry, the developer split this app and I didn't immediately notice it...

What is Notes Foss?

Notes is an open source and cross-platform note-taking app that is both beautiful and powerful.

Features Overview

  • Native app (written in C++ with Qt).
  • Turn your Markdown tasks into a beautiful Kanban board.
  • Fast and beautiful.
  • Fully open source and cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows).
  • Completely private - tracks nothing.
  • Folders and tags. Organize your ideas hierarchically using nested folders and universally using tags.
  • Markdown Support. Format text without lifting your hands from the keyboard.
  • Different themes. Switch between Light, Dark, and Sepia.
  • Feed View. Select multiple notes to see them all one after another in the editor.
  • Always runs in the background. Use the hotkey Win+Shift+N to summon Notes. Ctrl+N for macOS.
  • Keyboard shortcuts. Meant to have the option to be used solely with a keyboard (but more work needs to be done on that).
