About
Iotas aims to provide distraction-free note taking via its mobile-first design. Featuring Writing in markdown is supported but optional, providing Slightly more technical details, for those into that type of thing - Optional speedy sync with Nextcloud Notes - Offline note editing, syncing when back online - Category editing and filtering - Favorites - Spell checking - Search within the collection or individual notes - Focus mode and optional hiding of the editor header and formatting bars - In preview: export to PDF, ODT and HTML - A convergent design, seeing Iotas as at home on desktop as mobile - Search from GNOME Shell - Note backup and restoration (from CLI, for using without sync) - The ability to change font size and toggle monospace style - Formatting via toolbar and shortcuts - Syntax highlighting with themes - A formatted view - The ability to check off task lists from the formatted view - Nextcloud Notes sync is via the REST API, not WebDAV, which makes it snappy - There's basic sync conflict detection - Notes are constantly saved - Large note collections are partially loaded to quicken startup - Notes are stored in SQLite, providing for fast search (FTS) without reinventing the wheel. Plain files can be retrieved by making a backup (CLI).
