Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

👉 Open-source markdown note-taking application with Nextcloud and ownCloud integration.

QOwnNotes is a free and open-source plain-text note-taking and to-do list manager designed for users who want full control over their notes and data. It stores notes as plain text Markdown files, making them easy to synchronize with services such as Nextcloud, ownCloud, Syncthing, Dropbox, and other cloud or local storage solutions. QOwnNotes includes powerful organization tools, note encryption, scripting support, tagging, searching, and customizable interface layouts for productivity-focused workflows.

Changes:
v26.5.13 05-19-26
• Improved autosaving encrypted notes by running the expensive Botan encryption step in a worker thread, keeping typing responsive while encrypted notes are saved and avoiding overwriting newer edits made during encryption
• Fixed unchanged encrypted notes being marked dirty and rewritten on every Ctrl+S while editing encrypted notes, which changed their file modification date and repeatedly showed "Stored 1 note(s) to disk"
• Encrypted note files are now also protected from being truncated to 0 bytes before save validation runs
