Notebooks is a comprehensive writing app with a powerful text and Markdown editor, which you can use as personal Wiki, Zettelkasten, file and document organizer, task manager, PDF/eBook creator and much more—all in one place. You can seamlessly transform quick notes into actionable tasks, combine text fragments into chapters of a book, organize research material, and keep business documents separate from personal diaries without ever switching apps. Stay focused and unleash your creativity with Notebooks’ versatile and intuitive features. - You'll quickly come to appreciate this unique combination of features. • Notebooks stores all your documents as regular files in standard formats. You are always in control of your documents, never need to worry about how to export them, and they remain compatible across devices and over time. • Create formatted documents with styles, attachments, tables or checklists, and add a table of contents if you like. Choose between a variation of ready made document styles, or create your own, if you want. • Write your documents in plain text and allow Notebooks to automatically handle lists, highlight and center the current line on screen, automatically insert closing characters for (, {, [, " and more. - Plain text is a universal format which can be used on any device without any specific software. • Use Markdown to create formatted documents from plain text. Notebooks supports *MultiMarkdown* and its own flavor of *Discount*. – Click any word in a formatted Markdown text and start writing at that position. You can even create checklists (- [ ]) and tick them off in formatted view. Syntax highlighting and a set of dedicated extra keyboard keys make Markdown editing easy. • Use your Apple Pencil to sketch ideas or annotate images and PDF documents. • Use Notebooks' advanced editing capabilities to work on documents which are stored in other apps. • Compile selected documents or the contents of whole books into a single document, an eBook or a PDF document. • Link between documents in Notebooks. In Markdown you can even use Wiki style links ([[ ]]). When clicking a link to a document which does not yet exist, Notebooks suggests to create it. And when you move or rename documents, Notebooks makes sure the links remain intact. • Create as many books as you need to structure your projects and details. Nest books as deep as you like, there is no limit in Notebooks. If you ever loose track, Notebooks' full text search helps you quickly turn up even the most hidden document. • Turn books into task lists to display document as tasks which can be ticked off. Assign due dates and alerts, and divide projects into nested sub projects, which makes them easier to handle. • For simple lists you can use checklists in formatted documents and Markdown. • Assign Context tags to books and documents to create shortcuts that are accessible for a smart book at Notebooks' top level. – Notebooks can even extract context tags from the contents of documents as you create them. • Import all documents and files you want to keep close at hand, no matter whether PDF, email, web pages, MS Office or iWorks, photos, videos, music and more. • Scan documents and extract text using OCR (iOS 13) • Sync files between iPads, iPhones, Mac or PC. With all these features, Notebooks may quickly become your go-to repository for everything you want to keep close at hand. User Comments: “Notebooks is a wonderful App, which is so much better than the dozen other note apps I tried. It is sophisticated, in an unassuming way, so that you find yourself greatly rewarded and being productive without sacrificing time/effort to the App. I cannot tell you how much productivity I have gained. I am having a huge amount of fun, I use it constantly, more than the phone on my iPhone in fact." “You are GTD in every way that makes it efficient and makes me efficient.”}

I have been using this app almost since it started - many years ago. It’s always been one of the most reliable and useful apps. Cannot recommend this enough! I would like to say: Thank you very much for this great application ❤️ to the whole team !

Really enjoy this app. Simple and easy to use. Files can be sorted in folders. Etc. I only wish the desktop version was better.

Auch wenn diese App für Notizen etwas teurer ist und man die Versionen für iOS und macOS getrennt kaufen muss, erfüllt sie meine Anforderungen am besten, wodurch sich die Ausgaben wiederum auszahlen. Besonders praktisch finde ich die Möglichkeit Notizbücher als PDF zu exportieren und die Speicherung der Daten in der iCloud. Die Markdown-Unterstützung wird offenbar immer weiter ausgebaut, wodurch ich sie mittlerweile auch nutzen kann, um meine Readme-Dateien für Source Code zu schreiben. Wünschenswert wäre eine Möglichkeit Notizbücher zu verschlüsseln, um sie vor Fremdzugriffen zu schützen. Für sensible Informationen muss ich daher momentan noch auf eine andere App zurückgreifen, die auch zukunftsfähige quantensichere Verschlüsselung unterstützt.

The developer has consistently resisted adding more templates to the app, despite my having made the request three times over the past five years. Other apps offer features like lined pads, to-do lists, planners, notes, and colorful notepads with eye-catching, simple graphics. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to convince the developer, as they appear content with their complacency.

TLDR; If you have been looking for a notebook app that is not a subscription with portable data and deeply integrated in the apple ecosystem system, this is it. I looked a long time at different note apps. I would not have found this if I hadn't been on the forum for another app. I guess that's the only real issue with it is that the name makes it a little hard to find the App Store. Notebooks does a great job of leveraging things like iCloud and Apple’s technology, including intelligence, so that you don't end up paying for duplicate features or a separate cloud. It also means it can to interact with other apps that use iCloud or Finder. For example it works well with DEVONthink. Also, It saves an open formats like markdown and HTML. Even if this app disappeared tomorrow you would have no issues. The developer is great and responsive. The app has been around for a while, so you feel like you can actually trust investing in a purchase. I looked at everything from Evernote, Bear to Obsidian, but in my opinion, this is goto notebook app if you're in the Apple ecosystem and share priorities as mentioned above The developer does not chase every feature and the focus is on notes. For a development team of that size, I think he makes the right call in terms of focus. Documentation is also great.
