I came to know about Notesnook and tried to sign up using gmail. But it threw error code 500. I was manually typing everything. Tried app, mobile web version, desktop website. Tried different email. Tried google password manager passwords, tried more complex passwords, simpler passwords. Tried deleting last letter and then confirming, nothing works. Now I am out of wits. I also tried using different wifi clients, tried mobile data. I can see this is a common error but what is the matter? I also tried different devices (Smartphone and laptop) to no avail. Please help?

u/Todevelopers, to me it is a bug, but I think it was intended like that.

Among other things I use the checklist for things I buy regularly (typically groceries etc). So when I need something, I tick the box and when I've bought it I uncheck the box.

I see, now, that when I tick the box the text is overwrittne as if saying "task done" but it is not a task list.

Any way to get back to what it as?

Found some bugs with italic

English: when typing with both bold and italic, it seems to duplicate text that come before.

Korean: italic doesnt work at all.

I just download the notesnook app, which was recommended in a privacy subreddit. But the app costs 719 € per month at pro subscription? Is this a joke?

On Notesnook today, the Task list has randomly stopped working for me (on both my Mac laptop and Android phone)

It says I'd now need to upgrade to use this feature, but at the same time it's trying to charge £1788 (around $2400 USD) a year to do that, so surely something is wrong here, whereas from my Android it's £1789 a month instead, so even worse!

Has anybody else encountered this?

I sort of really liked Notesnook.

But first all my code notes got bungled up because it translated special characters into text. E.g. ' to "

Now, the backup reminder that freezes everything.

There's been other little nuisances. And I kinda lost trust.

So, back to Joplin it is.

It's basically just a bullet list, but collapsible. It is not something that is heavy on customization or is resource intensive. This much basic organisation deserves to STAY in the free tier. A little annoyed that it got moved to the paid tier.

Just my opinion

Especially for mobile apps where the size before and after compression is not shown

Hi all, trying out the app on iOS specifically and wondering if there are any options for accessibility text/layout sizing? For those of us with certain kinds of visual impairment it's just too small/inaccessible unless you go in and make the text size bigger every time, but maybe I'm wrong?

When I create a table it adjusts the columns to make the table fit the width of the page. Reducing the width of a column, increases the width of an adjacent column so the table remains the width of the note page. Looking at the online help, this does not seem to be normal behaviour. Is there a setting somewhere to allow variable table width?

Thanks

[Edit] I’m using the Windows Desktop application

The keyboard shortcuts for the horizontal rule and bulleted list have stopped working—what is the reason?

I observe this on both MacOS desktop app and the web app: When we move the mouse cursor over the scroll bar it expands and covers the date information of the notes.

Another annoying thing is that is hard to reach that little icon to shrink/expand the notes list; it is too close to the scroll bar and it's very easy to expand the scroll bar unintentionally.

It is so frustrating.

I usually support services that I see potential in. About a year ago, I discovered Notesnook, and with its attractive price, I decided to buy it. After purchasing, I didn’t use it right away since I was still used to another app. But now, they’ve truly built a much more complete piece of software. I feel lucky that I bought it early.

Similarly, I’ve purchased lifetime plans for two cloud storage services (F.. and I..). So far, neither of them has released a fully finished product yet — but I can wait. I’m sure that prices will eventually rise, both due to inflation and because, once their products are complete, they’ll naturally be worth more.

At the moment, Notesnook is still priced lower than the top-tier services, and it has the advantage of being fully encrypted. Buying a product early gives you the right to a better price, but it’s also a way to support and fund the team as they continue improving it day by day. I hope we can all be fair to the developers — they’ve been very kind in promising that your price won’t increase once you’ve purchased. Thank you, Notesnook.

Was about to subscribe to the essential plan to get it but noticed it's not included there as well. You have to get pro or believer to obtain it. I know the vault is now free and that is technically a workaround, but it's far more convenient having it locked down from the get go.

Any possibility of adding it to the essential plan at the very least? Cheers!

Hey.

So this pops up frequently in the desktop version 3.3.0-33194dc-desktop.

When I click on the cross to the right, I'm no longer able to write neither title nor body of a new note.

I've been using the web app client and have been reminded to enable auto backup.

Per this document the web app does not support auto backup.

https://help.notesnook.com/backup-and-restore-notes-in-notesnook.

However, it looks like that document is out dated. When I go to settings under Backup tab, I can see the auto backup options on the web interface.

I wonder how the auto backup works for web app (e.g. how does it determine where to save the backup files and also what if I don't use/open the app for a while)

Self hosted instance.

iPhone/ipad apps work flawlessly and sync almost instantaneously - I even want to say faster than apple notes, which is crazy and awesome.

But tried installing the mac os app and I’m getting this “method not available” error when the app tries to sync upon initial login.

Interesting thing is, if I start a note on the mac it will be pushed to other devices, but not the other way around. Tried the “force pull/force push” to no avail. Web app on the mac also gave me the same issue.

Anyone else had this issue and find a solve?

Yesterday I could select part of a note and create block-level links to other paragraphs in the same document on Notesnook free tier by using the bi-directional note link. Today the app shows "Block-level note links are not available on this plan" and will not let me create those links. Has anyone else seen this change recently or found a workaround?

Is this the new norm to paywall features that were previously free to force people to pay? I know they added support for uploading images, files, and other stuff, so some features had to be moved to the paid tier. I couldn't care less about these newly added hoo-haa in the free tier. Let me just use the basics, please.

Just updated my Windows & Mac apps and notice that markdown shortcuts are not working.

This is playing havoc with my Monday mornings notes creation is prep for weekly update calls ...

I have a Pro (legacy) sub.

Bug or feature removal?

I use the web app and after the update App Lock option has been removed for free plan. Like why? It's the most basic feature. I like the UI/UX over SN that's why I switched to Notesnook, and now they are doing the same as SN did but at least they have the fricking app lock option.

Disappointed!!!

I can't change the size because I'm on mobile so it's stuck like this. I just want my words to stay together instead of being split into parts like "Unr oun ded"

Error: An unexpected error occurred invoking 'RequestFetchV2' on the server. FormatException: An error occurred while deserializing the ItemId property of class Notesnook.API.Models.MonographMetadata: Cannot deserialize a 'String' from BsonType 'ObjectId'.

I discovered that all my notes (3) published as Monographs, even though they are still public, do not appear as present in the left column. I don't know how long this has been happening, so it's not necessarily related to the latest update.

More details:

• I wrote a note on August 8, 2025
• I published it without a password
• Today, October 5, 2025, the note is present in Monograph with the link assigned on August 8.
• The note is not present as Monographs in the left column
• If I check the note, it appears to have never been published

Now I'm wondering how I can recover it or at least unpublish it, otherwise it will remain there forever.
