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.
Ratings & Reviews
• Fixed: on iPad, Hide Toolbar with Hardware Keyboard left the toolbar showing with a keyboard attached. The toolbar now hides while a keyboard is attached and the on-screen keyboard is down, and shows again whenever the on-screen keyboard is up.
• Ready for what's next: notes keep the task details that later versions of FoldNotes will add, even while your iPhone, iPad and Mac run different versions.
