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.”}

The little gem with which you can achieve great work. The versatility in document formats is second to none. Definitely worth your while!

Die App selbst wäre eigentlich genial. …wenn sie auch laufen würde. Wenn ich im Vollbildmodus schreibe, komme ich nicht mehr zurück zur Bibliothek. Links - Rechts wischen. Funktioniert alles nicht. Nur ein Beenden und Neustarten schafft Abhilfe. Dann wird noch beim Beenden des Schreibens die Formatierung wild durcheinander gebracht. Abstürze sind häufig. Die Performance ist sehr schlecht. Sehr langsam und stotternd. Es ist wirklich schade. Es steckt wahrscheinlich sehr, sehr viel Arbeit in der App. Der Funktionsumfang ist fulminant. Aber es läuft halt nichts. Sorry.

I have used Notebooks since I had an iPhone 3S. It has tons of info I’ve collected for years. And now it has so many more features than it did then. They’ve done a great job updating and providing a super high quality tool for organizing information and actions.

Simple, instant, highly flexible organization. No visual noise, subtle marketing or excess bells and whistles. Just pure functionality and focus.

Been using this app for years now and although i dont use all the functions.. 1 of the very best functions is the developer. Always helpful, always getting things right and fixed as the versions progress. This is a valuable app that i would be devastated to lose. its just great. i am a cnc operator keeping notes on speeds feeds, different metals and tools. jobs. customers. rigging information pictures and much much more. Super valuable to me and nearly everyone at work has followed along and installed. they are all happy. our secret weapon to brilliance.

Avec les dernières mises à jour de iOS, 18.6.2, l’application fonctionne très mal plus que des lenteurs… à quand la prochaine mise à jour de l’application ?

This has been my favorite notebook app for years, but recently (in iOS 18.5 and now in iOS 26.0). Working well in 26.0. 👍🏻

I really enjoy this app and keep coming back to it. I particularly enjoy the wi-fi sync option and the responsive developer as I’ve run into a couple markdown issues and always get a quick response. I hope a future update incorporates some sort of journal or the apple journal options and maybe more templates, but its easy enough for me to just duplicate a doc and add a date for now. Great handwriting recognition as well.

Version history
12.8.4
Sep 19, 2025
This is a brief update while we are finalizing a much more comprehensive one. - When a task becomes due, you can mark it as done or snooze it for 10 minutes directly from the alert on your Apple Watch or from Notification Center. This update also adds more options to PDF creation, addresses a layout glitch in the Callouts document style, avoids duplicates when extracting tasks containing colons (:), and resolves (incomplete) internal links more effectively. In addition, it contains several changes to ensure compatibility with future iOS versions.
12.8.3
May 18, 2025
This update includes stability improvements, and particularly ensures that embedded images display reliably on iOS 18.2 and earlier, keeps the keyboard visible on iPad devices when creating a formatted document (iOS 18.3 and later), and fixes a crash that can occur when Notebooks is in the background.
