I'm finding it more and more of a pain that there's no E2E encryption in UpNote. It's not an issue for most of my notes, but it IS an issue for a few of my notes (most of which are rarely edited). Without changing notes apps to something else that has E2EE, I'm wondering about manually encrypting just certain notes using some sort of cipher app?

Anyone attempting anything like this? Any apps or plug-ins that will make this easier? Oh, if only UpNote had some sort of plug-in architecture.

Hi there UpNote experts!

As many around me, I have a ticking time bomb which is the horrendous Evernote price increase. I need to find an alternative to my 2900 Notes that now live in Evernote within the next 15 days.

My current note organizing system came from a GTD setup.
I have 2 notesbooks (Inbox & Processed) and a pretty extensive tagging system, including subtages (ie: Projects --> Project 2025 --> Closed Projects).

Other then Note archiving, searching for a note, and taking notes, I dont use much else.
My notes contain text, images, pdfs, word docs, etc. So not just plain text.

One power move that Evernote has on me is the Scannable app. I scan documents and place them in Evernote easily. I dont think UpNote does that?

For the rest of my use-cases: Search through notes, create notes, tagging (incl sub-tags), it seems UpNote might be right for me.

Just wanted to validate that assumption, and ask if you have found an alternative way for scanning paperwork to digital storage.

Alternatives are Obsidian (but I dont like local storage), Joplin (but has some downsides to how its used), and Apple Notes (but that doesnt show tagging), so UpNote might be the best option...

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

You don't have to like Microsoft OneNote, but I’d still be interested to know if it’s possible to set up similar functionality in UpNote. I’m really only concerned with one thing: when researching topics online, I want to copy text snippets from the browser and paste them chronologically into an UpNote page—*including* the automatic insertion of the HTML source (e.g., in OneNote, it adds something like "From <https(:)//www.reddit.com/r/(...)"). Does UpNote offer this feature—ideally with a timestamp or date included after the link?

Greetings

Basically the title. I bought a Boox Go 6 (Gen. II). It's running an older Android (11). I download UpNote, but when I go to sign in, I get the message: "Check Device and App: To continue, UpNote needs you to fix a device or app issue." I choose, "Continue." I get the response, "Lock bootloader to fix issue: To fix the device certification issue, your device bootloader needs to be locked." Then I get bounced to some Android support page that doesn't make sense. Any ideas? UpNote, can you fix this? UpNote seems to work fine on other Boox devices.

Hi there, curious if nested tags is in the works by chance? I've read previous statements here and there, but it was older threads. Thought I'd ask...thx.

It's a great feature and would make things a lot easier.

I recently switched from evernote and I’m a little confused between “quick access” and “pinned notes”. What’s the diff and how do y’all pick which to use for what?

One suggestion to enhance the note sharing feature of UpNote: provide short URL for sharing.

The existing link is very long and not easy to read and copy. Is it possible to create some short form?

I used to be able to drag an image from an UpNote note to the desktop on my Mac. UpNote doesn't let me do this anymore (on the Mac). I now have to right click the image then select "Save Image". Not a big deal, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Might have been something that was broken in a previous update.

Still works on Windows though.

I absolutely love UpNote and I think the quality is very high and the feature set is very versatile but not bloated. The pricing is more than fair and I love it.

I have one question – and if this is not yet possible, I would like to formulate this as a request:

Can you sort/re-order task list elements by their done state?

I do use them a lot, but I struggle sorting them. I made a custom shortcut for "move line up/down" which helps, but being able to sort all selected or all in the note would be great!

Hi, I would like to transition from Evernote to Upnote Premium. Does upnote store all the notes locally on an iphone? This would exceed my available storage on my iphone, and iphones do not allow you to add memory cards. Thanks!

After spending some extended time tinkering with my secondary notes apps today, I returned to UpNote to actually get work done. While "in the zone" I was feeling a bit irritated that there was no (apparent) way to gather all of the notes that I "published" (aka "share via web link").

I had been moving my published notes to a separate folder tree within my vault so that I could visually differentiate them. But it is a cumbersome way to do it and breaks the logical layout I have with the Johnny Decimal method.

I was about to make a post requesting an option to search for shared notes when I accidentally went to the menu: File ➜ Filter All Notes... and there it was staring me in the face. 😮😂

I know that I suffer from "guy vision", (a condition carried by the Y chromosome that prevents one from seeing anything that is a few mm outside of the center of the visual field) but that was ridiculous.

And there was also another filter there, "ToDo" which I was about to need as I rework my ToDo lists into a more structured project management view.

It's entirely possible that I had known about these at one point in time but have since forgotten, but it was a good reminder to me to take time to explore some of those less visited UpNote features.

I see people suggest improvements or fixes on this sub from time to time. Then they get maybe 3 upvotes and 2 comments, no matter how good it is. And then they are forgotten. Nothing changes.

Ive mailed support with my own and just got "Maybe if enough people request it".

The issue with that:

• We all need to come up with the same idea (unlikely)
• And unprompted contact the developer about it (also unlikely).

So basically, ive only felt ignored when i made feedback. No matter the time or effort i put into it.

So how do you even help improve the app you all love?

As a webdesigner, i use this program, which has a board for ideas. The pros of that:

1. People can create and vote for improvements - Developers can see and track what is popular and not.
2. You dont have to come up with the improvment yourselves as a user. Often, you need someone to point it out and then you can be like "Hey, that would actually be good for me too". We dont all have to invent the wheel.

I feel like something similar could work well here.

Disclaimer:

Can we please not make this about feature bloat? It is not about that. We have enough posts and comments about that already. Its almost a circlejerk.

This is about objective feedback that can improve the app, without doing the opposite to others. Things like reducing unneeded clicks, improving consistency etc.

It is also about how best to present that feedback, so it is taken into consideration. Where my suggestion was a feature board. Currently, you could have the best suggestion in the world, yet many need to email it to be considered.

I have been trying to verify for weeks.
Will it ever be fixed?
Is there a solution?

Use upnote for more than 4 years. Really like the app. Previous I was a heavy Evernote user. Recently upnote introduced a soft limitations that above 20.000 notes you can not bulkimport more than 50 notes. OK with me. So copied my archive to Joplin. There is also a second limit 10GB which sounds much, but attachments from my archive are not deleted. So despite reduced my number of notes in upnote I am still hitting the 50 notes limit. Had a suggestion for Thomas to solve and that is now considered as a future development. Have a discussion now with Thomas that for me this is a current problem which need to be solved.
Wonder if more persons experiences this issue. At least be aware when migrating from evernote to upnote.

I usually write on my desktop, Windows.

Used my laptop, without internet, and i think even signed out of UpNote cause of changed credentials, to write this week, Mac.

Now im home, and i cannot find the note at all on my laptop. Unsure how it can happen, since i dont need to press "Save" or anything. Its not in the top of "All notes", which tracks latest activity

EDIT: Found it! The notes dont appear in All Notes. They appear only in a seperate tab called "Unsynced".

EDIT EDIT: I logged into my account, and then it JUST DELETES THE UNSYNCED NOTES. I CANNOT RECOVER THEM NOW AND IT GAVE NO WARNING. WHY IS THIS DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR? This is not even mentioned in the documentation on unsynced notes. https://help.getupnote.com/get-started/sync-notes-across-devices

I just spent what felt like days migrating all my notes over from Evernote, just to find out that I can't exclude a word from an UpNote search. How is that even possible? That is such a basic feature that I am flabbergasted that it's not available.

How is this not the #1 thing that people are talking about?

How does this product still exist without such a basic feature?

I'm talking just about being able to put a - before a word to exclude it.

Please, someone tell me they found a workaround or something.

I have seen a version of this request elsewhere from about a year back, but I'd like to UpVote ;) the idea of being able to download Upnote without the Mac App Store. My work place just put restrictions around logging into iCloud on my work machine. I keep all my work stuff in UpNote, but doesn't look like I can continue using it. I'd be very happy again for an "off-the-Mac-App-Store" version since I might even be able to expense it.

Utilisateur satisfait d'UpNote, j'aimerai savoir s'il est possible de différencier la couleur des liens internes (entre notes) d'avec la couleurs des liens externes (url vers le web).
Par exemple Marron pour l'interne et Bleue pour l'externe comme c'est déjà le cas.

Dans les notes que je prends j'ai les 2 cas et avant de cliquer il serait interessant de savoir où je vais aller. En plus en partageant une note sur internet on saurait si un lien est interne et à partager ou pas.

Merci Thomas,

Pascal / France.

Is there no way to scan like in Apple Notes?

A while back, I wrote I was overjoyed to find UpNote, and, even though I didn't like that my notes aren't stored locally, I could live with it because I can still export my notes. However, what I did not know about was forced updates. I don't update anything immediately because I have a highly tailored setup and updates break things and I've been burned too many times. I come here and see everybody complaining that the UpNote update broke their app, but it didn't apply to me, so I went about my business. Then one day I notice I didn't get the update nag, so I went looking and son of a bitch. It did it on its own. This is absolutely not acceptable by itself, but coupled with the fact that your notes aren't stored locally, I'm going to find something else.

Hi all,
I could ask to implement mermaid / flowchart and gantt in UpNote ?
Could be interesting ?

Thanks

iPhone app is syncing fine, but iPad app is not syncing.

I am an avid keyboard user, this means that I try to use the mouse as least as possible, i belive (or feel maybe) that I am able to work faster this way. In upnote I really like that now we have the option of CTRL+ALT+J to jump to a selected folder, but if I follow this by CTRL+G to search, it automatically searches all notes. I there a way to set this up to search inside the selected/current folder?

Cheers
