FoldNotes

Markdown notes that fold

Free

Fold long notes down to the part you're writing. Now ready for iPhone Duo, with your notes side by side on the big screen, and a new formatting panel on every iPhone. 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.

The Preview beside your note on iPad, and Facing Pages on iPhone Duo • On iPad the Preview now sits beside your note. Tap the book: it keeps up as you type, shows what your note shows (a folded section stays folded) and scrolls with it. Drag the divider to share the space your way. As the window narrows, the library, the note list and the Inspector make room first, and the text keeps its size while you resize. Share As is always in the bar, with or without the Preview. • iPhone Duo, Facing Pages: open the Duo on its side and tap the book. Your note stays on the left page, and across the fold the right page shows its live Preview or its Outline. Share As joins the side bar. • iPhone Duo, the writer's pose: fold it part way and stand it up like a small laptop. Your note keeps the top half; the keys, your notes, the Preview and the Outline sit below the fold. • On the Duo a typing bar rides above the keys, with Find in Note, Left, Right, Undo and Redo. Above the formatting panel it carries Find, Up, Down and the word count. The side bar gains New Note, Search, Fold and the Inspector. • On every iPhone the bars slide away as you scroll on through a note, and stay away while you type. Scroll back, or reach the top, to bring them back. Find in Note is now in the More menu. • Links: a Link key and Command-K open a new link helper for a title and a web address. The wiki-link key turns selected words into a link. • Back and Forward: a note you open from a link, a search, New Note or the daily note is remembered straight away; one you pick from the list once you tap, type or scroll in it. On the Duo, Back turns into Forward when there is nothing behind you. • Faster: turning the phone or opening a pane in a long note, the Preview on the Duo, and in large collections the [[ link panel and searches by tag, favourite, task or overdue. • Plus a number of fixes.
