Raven - Markdown Notes
Plain text files you control
AED 49.99
Beautiful notes. Never locked in.
Raven is a native Markdown notes app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Write, journal, capture articles, and turn checkboxes into reminders—without putting your work in a proprietary note format.
WRITE WITH CONTEXT
Create notes with tables, images, checklists, code blocks, wiki links, and backlinks. Organize them with folders and tags, pin what matters, and find anything with full-text search.
TURN NOTES INTO ACTION
A checkbox can become a task with a due date and time. Raven gathers open tasks from across your notes, keeps each one linked to its source, and can send a local reminder when it is due. Complete or snooze it from the notification.
JOURNAL WITHOUT ANOTHER SILO
Daily and weekly journals live beside the rest of your writing. Save articles to Read Later, or capture a thought from widgets, Shortcuts, and the share sheet.
MARKDOWN YOU CAN KEEP
Raven works offline without an account. On Mac, choose the folder where your Markdown files live. On iPhone and iPad, Raven stores them locally and lets you share them as Markdown. Sign in with Apple only when you want Raven sync between devices.
No proprietary note format. No forced account. One purchase, with no subscription.
more Raven can now keep your notes in iCloud Drive.
- Choose iCloud Drive and your Markdown files live in a folder you can open in Files or Finder, on every device.
- Reinstalling picks up the vault that is already in iCloud, and you can bring this device's notes into it.
- Settings is simpler: storage in one place, clearer help, and app details where you expect to find them.
- Dark mode reads better throughout, and every switch now clearly shows whether it is on.
