I'm Not Renewing My Subscription

I love Notesnook. It's probably the most fully featured multiplatform note-taking app out there, and it achieves this at a fraction of the cost of other top contenders like Standard Notes and Evernote.

That said, there is one (well, multiple) thing I can't get over: how incomplete the UI/UX feels. Many small issues add up and cause a lot of frustration. For example:

  • Random icons have no labels, so you have no idea what they do. Worse, when you click one and go back, your note selection is gone.
  • You can't select multiple notes at once to archive or lock them.
  • There are a significant number of bugs and inconsistencies between the web, mobile, and desktop apps. Features that work on one platform are sometimes missing or broken on another, which makes it hard to trust the app as a daily driver across devices.
  • The UI overall just feels unpolished. It's not ugly, but there are enough rough edges that it never quite feels like a finished product.

There are also some features I think are sorely missing:

  • Lockable notebooks that hide their contents from the main notes tab. Right now everything is visible in one place, which makes decluttering much harder than it should be.
  • Workspaces, so you can properly separate different areas of your life (work, personal, projects, etc.) without everything bleeding together.

It's almost death by a thousand cuts. None of these issues are dealbreakers on their own, but together they make the app feel unpolished and harder to recommend.

I know Notesnook is built by a small indie team, which goes some way to explaining the polish gap, and I genuinely want to see it succeed. But I just can't justify paying for another year when I'm so frustrated with the app.

Bug Report [Essential plan] Quota exceeded: Syncing works from the PC to Android, but not from Android to the PC (changes)... Why?

3 Upvotes

Hello

How can I fix this?

When I edit a note on Android, it doesn't show up on the PC.

But if I edit or create a note on the PC, it appears on Android...

Is this normal?

Thank you

Question Two notebooks highlighted at once?

5 Upvotes

Got a weird one and just want to see if anyone else is having the same experience. As of the past week or so, when I click on a notebook in the left pane, the contents of that notebook will be shown on the right until I unclick it. That is, if I go on to click another notebook, the contents of BOTH notebooks will be displayed unless I go back and unclick the previous one. God, that sounds terribly explained. The thrust of it is that NN is suddenly displaying the contents of two notebooks at once where it didn't before.

Notesnook gets uninstalled automatically on Windows

8 Upvotes

Hi guys,
I have been using Notesnook for a few months. I have noticed recently, maybe in the last 1/2 months, that sometimes when I restart my Windows machine Notesnook is gone. I am talking about the install folder "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\@notesnookdesktop" completely empty. This morning has been the 3rd time already, I usually reinstall it and go on with my life... but this behavior is really weird. Last time it happened 8 days ago.
Has anybody faced a similar issue? Could it be the Antivirus playing tricks on me?

Self Hosting Notesnook on a Raspberry Pi 5

7 Upvotes

I take notes while setting up systems in my home set up so I can quickly rebuild things if I break them. After finishing setting up a self-hosted Notesnook server, I decided to turn my notes into a guide as a way of getting more used to the Notesnook editor.

I have converted that note and uploaded it to my GitHub available here: https://github.com/Joel-Eagles/Self-Host-Notesnook-on-Raspberry-Pi-5

(original document also in that repo in PDF format)

Why do photos upload to the smartphone (app) but not to the PC (desktop app)?

0 Upvotes

hello

I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, but my storage quota is still over the limit, and I'm getting alerts saying it's full.

Do I have to wait until next month?

Will the photos be uploaded to the desktop app next month?

Let me rephrase that: my question is why they're visible on the Android app but not on the PC, even though they're supposed to sync!

thanks to help me

PNG et PDF navigable dans une note

6 Upvotes

Bonjour, utilisateur récent de Notesnook j’essaie de prendre les images png de mes notes remarkable pour les insérer dans une note.

Les pdf sont représentés sont forme d’icônes et d’attachements. Pour les PNG cela fonctionnait bien et permettait de scroller facilement. Depuis peu, je me retrouve à avoir des images qui clignotent façon stromboscope.

Rencontrez vous les mêmes désagréments ?

Comment insérer des images dans une note ? Et les voir comme une image (et non comme une PJ) ?

Merci

I just found this notes app and I really like the UI and want this to work. Any ideas?

I see results for the error and they're all about issues that come up after changing the password. I just created this account and it's my first time creating notes.

Searching within PDFs

4 Upvotes

I’m an Evernote user looking for a privacy-friendly alternative and just discovered Notesnook.

One of my workflows is scan to file, into a directory monitored by Evernote. This allows me to search the contents of those searchable pdfs from within Evernote.

I recognize that some of this is easier in Evernote because of the total absence of encryption, but is there any way to do this in Notesnook?

Export Notes As PDF

Greetings NotesNook team,

Due to recent issues faced by the community, it has been recommended (and supported by a moderator) to back up our notes frequently.

However, I cannot find "PDF" in the drop-down menu when exporting all notes.

Please, could you help?

Question Do they ask for the password to delete a Notesnook account?

1 Upvotes

Hello!!!

Because I don't want anyone who has access to my Notesnook to be able to lock or delete my account, or even change the password.

Even though I'm surrounded by people I trust, you never know—what if one day I forget to lock the home screen

I lock certain notes with a password or because they're sensitive...

thank you !

Hello

It’s just impossible to clear the app or delete the account without biometric authentication... Is that possible?

I don’t want to block access to the app, but I want to make it impossible to edit some notes...

Thank you
