openote: Markdown Notes & Sync

openote — Markdown notes with free sync. No account. No subscription.

Other note apps charge a yearly fee just to sync your own devices. openote syncs iPhone, iPad and Mac through your iCloud Drive — free, with no account to create.

Your notes stay plain .md files. Open them in the Files app or any Markdown editor, and take them anywhere. No proprietary format, no lock-in.

WHY OPENOTE

Free iCloud sync
Notes sync through iCloud Drive on your own Apple account. No sign-up, no subscription.

Plain Markdown files
Every note is a standard .md file. Front matter, checklists and [[wiki links]] are kept exactly as you wrote them.

Safe across devices
If a note changes on another device while you're editing, openote keeps both versions instead of silently overwriting one. Your last words are saved even if you switch apps or quit right away.

Mermaid diagrams
Flowcharts, sequence diagrams and more render live from Markdown. Start from a template, pinch to zoom, tap to edit the code. Rendering works offline.

On-device AI
On devices with Apple Intelligence, summarize a note, get tag suggestions, or turn a sentence into a diagram. It runs entirely on your device — nothing is sent to a server.
