Tips
Keeping notes as Markdown files in a folder
How Jotella saves notes to a folder as .md files: folder structure, images and use alongside other editors.
Jotella: Notes
A simple notebook for writing things down.
Notes are saved as you type, sorted into folders, found by #tags and organised with checklists and tables. They are stored in the browser or as .md files in a folder you choose.

Key features
- Formatted writing
- Headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes and code blocks. Markdown shortcuts turn into formatting as you type: "# " for a heading, "- " for a bullet, "1. " for a numbered list.
- Checklists
- Tickable items are added from the toolbar or with Ctrl/⌘ ⇧ L; completed items are struck through.
- Tables
- Tables can be inserted into a note; Tab moves between cells.
- Images
- Images are added from the toolbar, the Format menu, by pasting or by dragging; they are not embedded in the note but kept as separate files in an attachments/ folder next to the notes, linked from the note with a relative Markdown link. Images from external web addresses are not loaded.
- Folders and tags
- Notes are sorted into folders. #tags in the text are listed in the sidebar; selecting a tag shows the notes that carry it.
- Search
- Searches titles and text across all notes; results narrow as you type.
