Description
Notenik is a simple yet powerful and flexible system for taking, collecting, organizing and publishing Notes.
Each Note is stored in its own plain text file. A folder full of Notes becomes a Collection. Create as many Collections as you like, and store them wherever you like. Store them in iCloud Drive, or in your Dropbox folder, and let them sync to your other devices.
Each Note consists of one or more fields: minimally, a Title and a Body, but you can add more, based on your needs for a particular Collection. Use Markdown to format the Body of your Notes (including footnotes, citations, definition lists and Math equations!).
Add Tags to your Notes to see them organized by topic or some other system. Each Note can have multiple tags, and each tag can have multiple levels. Tags are stored within the text files, so they will sync along with your Notes to other devices.
Add a Link field to your Notes and use them as Bookmarks, or simply to reference additional information for a Note.
You can also add Date and Status and Recurs fields to your Notes, and then use them as a To Do system.
Add Seq + Level fields to use your Collection as an outline.
Import and export and share your Notes using a variety of different formats.
Notenik is open-source software and free.

Ratings and Reviews
A hidden powerhouse
At first glance, Notenik has loads of potential to become one of Mac OS's premier notetaking applications. For one, it's a native app, which gives it a sophisticated advantage over most software that is by-and-large running on Electron (bleh).
Under hood is a lot more than what you'd expect upon downloading it. Notenik's use of templating and scripting allow users to turn their notes into static sites, and I could imagine many other things provided they take the time to read the documentation, reach out to Herb Bowie (the developer) and use their imagination.
Notenik reminds me of certain Legacy apps like MacJournal and Circus Ponies Notebook/Notetaker. They provide a welcoming UI with a robust UX that allows users to leverage the extensiveness of the software to empower themselves creatively.
Helps organize thoughts and text
It's a really robust, no-nonsense text file editor and organizer. Easy to create markdown or text files, link them to each other, and produce a hierarchy according to your own organization. Files can work locally. The documentation and instructions are thorough and informative. If you have a lot of thoughts or documentation you'd like to write down, this is a good file cabinet. Be mindful it's not a word processor. Notenik sticks to what it does really really well.
Clean, Uncluttered, Easy to Use
Great native app. A great, clean look that is highly useful. The options for your lists and collections are just right - you get enough options for customization without being too overwhelmed with tons of features.
Makes for a great content calendar if you have to publish often.
Best of all, no emails from developers and all my notes are totally safe in icloud or directly on my device.
