Markdown documents with folders, tags, full-text search and version history, kept in the same place as the tasks, projects and goals they are about. The decision you already made once is a search away instead of somewhere in another tool.
Notes are on the free plan. No card, no time limit.
Nothing here needs learning. Write markdown, put it in a folder, tag it, and find it later by something you remember from inside it. The care went into the parts you only notice when they are missing.
Headings, lists, quotes, bold, links. Switch between writing and reading on the same screen, with a word count so you know whether the thing you wrote is a note or a draft.
One folder to file it, as many tags as it deserves. Folders keep the list navigable; tags cut across them, so client notes in three folders still gather in one place.
Full-text search across titles, bodies and tags. Months later you remember a phrase, not a filename, and that is enough to get the note back.
Every note keeps what it used to say. An edit that cut the wrong paragraph is a thing you can look at and undo, rather than a loss you find out about later.
Publish a note to a read-only URL and send it to someone with no account and no reason to make one. Private by default; unshare whenever you like.
Deleting a note puts it in the trash rather than ending it. Clearing out old notes should not be a decision you have to think hard about first.
A note opens as a document: markdown body, the folder it is filed in, its tags, when it was last edited and how long it is. Toggle between writing and reading without leaving the page, star the ones you keep coming back to, and open the history when an edit went further than you meant it to.
Notes in EvyOS are one of seven record types, alongside goals, projects, tasks, habits, skills and calendar events. The brief and the task list are in the same sidebar, in the same workspace, under one search. It is a smaller idea than it sounds until the week you stop opening a second app to find what you already decided.
Add a note and type. Markdown if you want the structure, plain sentences if you do not. Nothing is required except the words.
Put it in a folder so the list stays readable, and add the tags that will pull it back later. Both are optional and both take a second.
Search a phrase from inside it when you need it again. If somebody else needs it, publish a read-only link and send that instead of a copy.
A note-taking system you have to maintain is a system you eventually abandon, and the notes go with it. These are markdown documents in folders, with tags and a search that reads the body. That is the whole model, and it is the reason it still works in the third year, when the enthusiasm has gone and you only want the file back.
See the plans →Positioning, pricing, the reason you chose the harder option. Decisions you made carefully once and will otherwise remake badly in eight months.
Kickoff notes, a training plan, the reading list for this quarter. Documents you come back to rather than read once, which is exactly what search and folders are for.
Site copy, an outline, the first version of something that will go elsewhere. Version history matters most here, because drafts are where you cut the good paragraph by accident.
Write markdown, file it in a folder, tag it, and search the body when you need it back. It is in the same place as the work it is about.
