What is tidanote?

tidanote is a lean note-taking app in the spirit of early Evernote — clean, focused and fast — rebuilt on modern tech, deliberately not the bloated all-in-one tools of today. It brings together the things that usually live in a handful of different apps:

Daily Canvas — your day as a chronological timeline, with On This Day and one-tap Summarize Today.
Upcoming — every checklist due date rolls up into a single task view (Overdue & Today, Next 7 Days, Someday).
Editor — a flowing rich-text editor (not blocks) with headings, bold and italic, lists, checklists, code blocks, quotes and links.
Notebooks & tags — the classic way to organise notes, plus an Inbox for anything not yet filed.
Search — full-text search across every note, with OCR that reads the text inside your photos and PDFs.
Capture — voice to note, a share sheet, quick capture, and a web clipper.
Sync — local-first, with background sync across web, desktop and iOS.
Export — one-click export to Markdown, HTML or ENEX, so you’re never locked in.

Better than Apple Notes

tidanote is built to beat Apple Notes at the things that matter:

Apple Notes	tidanote
Just a reverse-chronological list	Daily Canvas — your day as a timeline, with On This Day
Checklists stay buried inside notes	Upcoming — every due date rolls up into one view
Apple-only	Web, Mac & iOS
Painful / no export	One-click export to Markdown, HTML, ENEX
No web clipper	Web clipper
No command palette	⌘K command palette
Checklists with no due dates or priority	Checklists with due dates & priority
Limited OCR	OCR search you control
No share links	Share any note with a read-only link
iCloud lock-in	Local-first + background sync

See Local-first & sync and Export your data for how it delivers on that.

Cross-platform

tidanote runs anywhere you do: a web app (installable PWA), a desktop app for macOS, and iOS. Read Platforms for details.
