FoldNotes

Markdown notes that fold

Free

Fold long notes down to the part you're writing. New: FoldNotes is now on Mac, so your notes and tasks follow you from iPhone and iPad to your desk through iCloud. Some notes are short. Others grow into chapters, plans and running logs you scroll past a hundred times. FoldNotes lets you fold the finished parts away, so a long note stays as small as the part you are actually working on. Every note is a plain Markdown file. No database, no proprietary format, no export step. Your notes sit in iCloud Drive or on your device, and any other app can open them, today or in ten years. It is also a real iOS app, written in Swift. Not a web page in a wrapper. It opens instantly, works offline, handles a hardware keyboard properly, and does not sit in the background eating your battery. FOLD ANYTHING • Collapse any heading or list item and everything beneath it folds away • Hoist a section to work on it alone, with everything else out of sight • Task counts stay on the folded heading, so you can see what is left without unfolding WRITTEN FOR MARKDOWN • Live styling as you type — headings, lists, quotes, code, links • Six heading levels, and GFM tables with a real table editor • Code blocks with syntax highlighting • Wiki-links [[like this]], with previews and automatic backlinks • Nested tags TASKS WHERE YOU WROTE THEM • Four states: to do, in progress, done and cancelled • Due dates and priorities written inline, in plain text • Assign them to a project and add context and comments • Counts roll up to the section above them BUILT FOR IPAD • Library, notes and editor side by side • Hardware keyboard shortcuts throughout • An inspector with outline, tasks, references, properties and a note graph • Scan printed text straight into a note with the camera FIND ANYTHING • Search every note, including regular expressions • Saved queries and database views across your whole collection • Daily notes with a calendar COMING FROM ANOTHER APP • Import from Bear or Obsidian in a tap • Or simply point FoldNotes at the Markdown files you already have MAKE IT YOURS • Light and dark themes, including Nord, Dracula and Catppuccin • Choose your body, heading and code fonts • Paragraph focus, sentence focus and typewriter scrolling Folding is not a formatting trick. A long document asks you to hold every section in your head at once; folding lets you put the finished ones down. That is the whole idea, and everything else here is built around it. Your notes will outlive this app, and every app like it. That is rather the point.

Folded sections and Bike outlines keep every line where it belongs • Folded headings and outline rows keep their hidden lines. Some edits next to a folded heading could move its hidden lines to the end of the note, above the heading, or into the middle of another line. This happened when you deleted or typed over a selection ending at a folded heading, pasted lines at its start or into its text, or deleted the line break before it. Now the heading opens first, or keeps its fold, and every line stays under it. • Fixed — typing or pasting over a selection that included part of a folded heading deleted its hidden lines, and Undo couldn't bring them back. • Bike outlines keep their row identifiers when you edit them in FoldNotes. Bike's Today and Month now find their calendar rows instead of starting a second year, and links to rows keep working. Copy Row Link on a row Bike hasn't named yet gives it an identifier and saves it. • Notes made on your Mac or another device while FoldNotes was closed now show as soon as it opens. They could take several minutes to appear. • Deleting a selected line break, or forward-deleting at the end of a line, now removes just that, as on the Mac. The next line keeps its heading or task marker. Backspace at the start of a line still joins it to the line above and drops the marker. • Fixed — in rare cases the editor could stop responding while you edited.
