QOwnNotes is an open-source (GPL) plaintext file notepad featuring markdown support and a to-do list manager for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. This versatile application optionally integrates with the notes application of ownCloud or Nextcloud, allowing users to document their thoughts in QOwnNotes and later edit or search for them on mobile devices, similar to CloudNotes, or through the ownCloud web service. Notes are saved as plain text files that can be synchronized with your ownCloud sync client, but other cloud solutions, including Dropbox, Syncthing, Seafile, or BitTorrent Sync, are also compatible.
Key Features of QOwnNotes:
- Choose your notes folder freely; you can use multiple note folders.
- Perform sub-string searches within notes, with highlighted search results.
- Utilize customizable keyboard shortcuts to operate the application efficiently.
- Monitor external changes to note files, automatically reloading notes or the note list.
- Restore older versions of notes directly from your ownCloud server.
- Recover trashed notes from your ownCloud server.
- Display differences between the current and externally modified notes in a dialog.
- Markdown highlighting and preview mode for enhanced note formatting.

- Support for ownCloud’s selective sync feature, enabling the use of an unlimited number of note folders and choosing the respective folder on your server.
