Why mashnote
Better than Apple Notes. On purpose.
Apple Notes is competent but shallow and Apple-locked. mashnote keeps the speed you love and removes every wall.

Features
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
The early-Evernote triad — clean, focused, fast — with a modern, local-first engine underneath.
Editor
Rich text that round-trips to Markdown
A flowing, WYSIWYG editor — not blocks, not raw markup. Format as you type, and your notes stay portable.
- Headings, bold, italic, lists, checklists, code, quotes & links
- Inline images and file attachments
- A minimal floating toolbar — never a permanent ribbon

Organise
Notebooks, tags & an Inbox that just works
Everything lands in your Inbox first, then flows into notebooks and tags — exactly the unsorted-then-filed rhythm early Evernote got right.
- Sub-notebooks and colour-coded tags
- The Inbox is the default landing spot for new and shared notes
- Keyboard-first: ⌘K command palette, ⌘P quick switcher
