Your markdown studio for every workspace. for every workspace.

Yes — free for personal and commercial use, with no account needed. The price on the Microsoft Store is £0, and so are every theme and plugin in the marketplace. Marknote Sync, the one part that needs a server, is free while it finds its feet; paid plans will come with team features, never with the basics.

Today, Marknote ships as a native Windows app via the Microsoft Store. Apps for iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro are planned, as are a Mac app and an Android app. There are no plans for Linux — see the roadmap for the current state. Marknote's file format is plain markdown, so notes you write today travel cleanly to whichever platforms come next, and Marknote Sync is what will carry them there.

Your notes on every machine you use, end-to-end encrypted so that nobody — including us — can read them. Notes are encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you hold before anything leaves it; the service stores and relays what it cannot open. Register, sign in from Settings, and your notes follow you. Sync is opt-in — a Marknote that never signs in works exactly as it always has.

English, Deutsch, Français, and Español. Pick one in Settings → Language, or leave it on "System default" to follow your Windows preference. Translations beyond English are a starting point — if you spot a clunky string, Help → Contact support in the app opens a ticket with us.

Wherever you put them. Marknote doesn't move your files — point it at a folder and it reads and writes .md files in that folder. No database, no proprietary format. App settings live in %LocalAppData%\Marknote\settings.json.

No analytics SDKs, no automatic telemetry, no automatic crash reporting, and no account unless you register for Sync. The "Rich" preview ships KaTeX, Mermaid, and highlight.js bundled locally so renders don't touch a CDN. What does go out: at launch, one anonymous request to the sync service asking whether registration is open (no identifier travels with it); the theme marketplace listing, only when you open the gallery; and your encrypted notes, only if you turn Sync on. If you choose to use Help → Contact support, the dialog pre-fills a ticket at support.marknote.md with the version, OS, .NET runtime, and the tail of your local crash log — but you review and edit everything in your browser before sending, and only support reads it. See the privacy policy for the full breakdown.

Seventeen looks are built in — Marknote's own light and dark, with Mica and Acrylic window materials, plus Nord, Solarized, Dracula, Gruvbox, City Lights and Aspire — and you can pick one for light and another for dark and let Windows switch between them. The theme marketplace adds more, installed in one click; a theme is a single file of colours, no code, so making your own is an afternoon's work.

Yes. Plugins add commands to the palette and transform markdown before the preview renders, and run in a sandbox with only the permissions they ask for. Browse them at /plugins, or build one — a manifest and one JavaScript file.

There's nothing to "get out". Your notes are plain markdown files in a folder you chose. Marknote doesn't add proprietary metadata. Open them in any editor, sync them with any service, version them with git. You're never locked in.

Fully. Writing, previewing, exporting, and search all work with no connection. The network is only needed to push or pull a git remote, to browse the theme marketplace, for Sync to catch up once you're back online, and for the Store to check for updates.
