Hi Hacker News!

I built Notebag because I got a bit sick of other note taking apps breaking my workflow. I wanted something that I could quickly show and hide and that would allow me to jot down Markdown, so I could have a bit of structure.

And then Notebag happened! I hope you'll find it useful.

This looks great but I couldn't find any information on exporting data—does this save notes as markdown on disk?

*edit: the FAQ mentions that the notes are encrypted and saved as markdown (https://notebag.app/faq/)

Is there any way to sync notes between devices? What happens after the 7-day trial is up? Are there any plans for mobile/web version to allow for entries on the go?

Hi! I'm currently working on note sync as it is one of the most requested features so far.

As for the trial ending: You will have the possibility to export all your notes as Markdown once the trial ends, so you're not locked in.

A mobile version is also planned for the future, currently researching on the best approach!

Sorry for the slew of questions and thank you for the answers! I am checking it out :D

Why would you bundle all OS's binary in the demo download? Also, please sign the macOS binary.

Hi, sadly I don't have a full video demo right now, but there are 6 short demos on the landing page you can check out!
