Noteship for Mac

Makers, hunters, notetakers, Your favorite notes app, if it were to disappear tomorrow, would you know where it kept your notes? In the cloud, in some database, the bottom left drawer of your desk? I spent the last 2 years building a notes app that focuses on data-longevity. What does that mean? I, as the user, want to know exactly where my notes are stored (offline, as simple files and folders that I can see and control in Finder). In 20 years from now, I still want to be able to access my knowledge base no matter if apps are still a thing by then (notes can be opened with a browser; those have been around for more than 25 years so let’s hope we’re covered on that front). BUT I do not want to have to miss features that I’ve come to rely on: links between notes, rich text editing with images, tags, and full text search. Since everything is based on simple files and folders, I added a way to include other files/documents/PDFs right inside a notebook. If you are planning a trip, you can keep hotel and car reservation PDFs right along with your notes. This started out as a side project, but it turns out that being able to see a preview of other documents inside the app is pretty handy! Taking notes is one thing, but making sense of them another. Two features I added to extract knowledge from your notes are “one page summaries” and a spreadsheet view. A one page summary combines sections from multiple notes on a single page. For example, let’s say you keep monthly project review notes, each with a section “Lessons Learned”. A one page summary for “Lessons Learned” would show all these sections from multiple notes on a single page. I’m also a fan of life-long learning so expect to see more features in that area in the future. As every maker knows, getting a product ready and out the door takes a huge effort. The last 5% never seem to come to an end. I am so very happy to finally have everything lined up and ready! I’m looking forward to hear what you think! Greetings from Germany, Rico

I was able to test Noteship beta (or Life Notes as it was called previously). I am delighted by the idea and the maker's approach to Data Longeivity This app is good... - .. for people who like to save files locally and who are not keen to give their precious notes into the hand of an external providers - ... for people who think notion.so or evernote are cool apps, but prefer not to pay life-long subscription fees for simple note taking - ... for people who think that HTML is the future of content I can recommend all the other apps from Rico, such as Kartenheld! He produces tools for life-long learners and the next generation of knowledge workers. Only drawback in my opinion is the custom file format. All in all, a valuable app which I will use in future. Thanks Rico

Would be good to be able to import markdown, like from Typora
