How DeNotes compares

Every app on this page is good at something DeNotes is not, and each comparison says so plainly. The goal is that you leave knowing which one fits you, even when the answer is not DeNotes.

What makes DeNotes different

Three structural choices explain most of the differences on the pages below.

Notes are saved as plain Markdown files, not as blocks or rows in a database. A note is a .md file that any text editor can open.

Those files go into your own Google Drive, in a folder DeNotes creates. They are in an account you already have, and DeNotes can only see the files it made.

The feature set is deliberately small. Notes, files, folders, goals and stickers. Nothing to configure before you can start writing.

Pick a comparison

Each page covers what the other app does well, where the two genuinely differ, and who should choose which.

The fastest way to compare is to write something

DeNotes is free to start, and your notes are yours from the first one.
