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.

Queries, Obsidian import and faster opening • Queries live in one place. When Queries is open in the sidebar it ends with a New Query… row, even before you have any queries. A new query appears selected under Queries as soon as you save it, and the builder's button now just says Save. Touch and hold any query, the built-in ones included, to duplicate it. • Importing an Obsidian vault copies only the pictures your notes actually use, so a vault full of unused files no longer copies them all. Before you import, FoldNotes tells you how many will be copied and how many will be left behind. • Fixed — two pictures with the same name in different Obsidian folders could end up pointing at the same file, and embeds that include a folder (![[Trips/beach.jpg]]) weren't picked up. Importing the same vault again no longer duplicates its pictures. • Fixed — after a large import or a big sync, FoldNotes could be slow to open. It re-checked every note's links against every other note; it no longer does. • Fixed — the Tasks widget could still count a task from a note that had been deleted on another device.
