About this app
ZenNotes is a local-first markdown notes app for writing, organizing, and connecting ideas without giving up ownership of your files. YOUR NOTES, YOUR FILES Every note is a plain .md file in a vault you control. Start with storage on your iPhone or iPad, use iCloud Drive, or open a folder through the system document picker. Local and iCloud vaults work without an account. ZENNOTES CLOUD Connect an optional ZenNotes Cloud plan to: • Sync a vault across ZenNotes desktop and mobile • Sync notes and attachments • Create manual and automatic daily backups • Restore a full vault or a single note from a backup • Publish notes to the web and manage their public links Cloud never replaces the free local-first workflow. Use it only when you want hosted sync, backup, or publishing. WRITE IN MARKDOWN Use a focused editor with headings, lists, tasks, tables, code, links, wikilinks, tags, callouts, footnotes, and frontmatter. A mobile formatting bar keeps common actions close to the keyboard, and a pinch resizes the text to your eyes. RICH, OFFLINE PREVIEW Render KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, JSXGraph, function plots, tables, callouts, and more directly on your device. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Pin your go-to notes and folders to the top, swipe rows to act on them, create and rename nested folders, browse tags, search the full vault, manage tasks, create periodic notes, and work with table databases stored as CSV. CAPTURE QUICKLY Create a quick note from the app or send text and links to ZenNotes from the iOS share sheet. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Start a note, open a recent one, or check today's tasks without opening the app. New Note also lives on the Lock Screen, and the widgets wear your theme. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT ZenNotes has no advertising or tracking. Local and iCloud notes stay in the storage you choose. When you enable ZenNotes Cloud, the account identity, connected-device information, and vault content needed for the Cloud features you use are sent to the ZenNotes service. Payment details are handled by Stripe. ZenNotes is open source. Your vault remains useful outside the app because it is made of ordinary files.
What's new
Version 1.37.0 · Nov 7, 2026
Home shows which vault you are in, a vault you fill from Files shows its notes right away, and iPad works better with a keyboard. • Home names the open vault at the top. One tap opens your vaults, so switching takes a moment. • Copy folders of notes into a vault from Files and they appear without reopening the app. An untouched Welcome note steps aside, so no stray inbox folder is left. • On iPad with a hardware keyboard, the formatting row above the keyboard steps aside. • iPad's sidebar has a Commands button that opens the command palette. • Take Photo or Video works when you attach to a note. • Touch and hold a database Board's column to give it a color. The Table's chips use the same color. • A quote inside a list item draws its bar after the bullet, and a link in a table follows on one tap while a scroll that starts on it just scrolls. • Linking this device to a Cloud vault no longer stops on the Welcome note the app wrote for itself, and a sign-in that is still connecting can be cancelled. • On iPad, Help shows only what this app has, and a hidden sidebar always comes back. Your notes stay ordinary Markdown files, and local and iCloud vaults work without an account.
