Motaware Notes

Capture ideas instantly

Write things down the moment you think of them. Format with headings, lists and checklists, organise with notebooks, tags and colours, and find anything with search. Open a note on another device and your latest changes are already there.

Included in every plan, Free too. An alternative to Apple Notes, Keep.

What you can do with Notes

Rich text, kept simple

Headings, bold, italic, underline, highlight, links, quotes and code blocks. Notes are stored as Markdown, so they export cleanly.

  • Bulleted and numbered lists
  • Undo and redo
  • Saves as you type

Checklists

Turn any list into a checklist and tick items off as you go. Checklists sit alongside your text in the same note.

  • Mix checklists, text and headings
  • Ticks are saved with the note

Notebooks, tags and colours

Group notes into notebooks, label them with tags and give them a colour. Pin and star the notes you need most often.

  • Reorder notebooks in the sidebar
  • List or grid view
  • Archive notes you want out of the way

Find anything

Search titles, text and tags across all your notes. Recent, Starred and All notes keep everything close at hand.

  • Filter all notes by tag or colour
  • Search results show the notebook and last change

In sync on every device

Notes save as you type. A note open on another device or tab updates there too, and if both change it at once you choose which version to keep.

  • Nothing is silently overwritten
  • Works in any modern browser

Attachments, import and export

Attach files to a note, up to 25 MB each; images show in the note and other files download. Import Markdown, HTML and text files, and export any note as Markdown, HTML or plain text.

  • Deleted notes stay in the trash for 30 days
  • Deleting a notebook moves its notes to the trash
  • Duplicate a note in one click

Security and privacy

Private attachment links

Attachments are never kept in a public folder. Each one is served through a signed link that names exactly one file and expires after 8 hours.

Files can't run in your browser

Only common image types open in the browser. Everything else downloads, and web pages or SVG files are never shown as pages.

Protected by your account

Sign in with your Motaware account, which supports two-step sign-in with an authenticator app.

Questions about Notes

Can I share a note or edit it with someone else?

Not yet. Notes are private to your account. To share one, export it as Markdown or HTML, or write it in Docs.

Can Notes remind me about something?

Not yet. For reminders and due dates, use Tasks.

What if I edit the same note on two devices?

Notes notices and asks which version you want to keep, so nothing is overwritten without you knowing. Notes keeps the latest version only; there is no version history yet.

How much can I attach?

Each attachment can be up to 25 MB, and together they can use the storage figure for your plan shown above. See Pricing for the plans.

What happens to my notes if my paid plan ends?

Nothing is deleted straight away. Notes becomes read-only for 90 days: you can still open, search and export every note. Subscribe again to make changes.

Is there a mobile app?

Not yet. Notes works in any modern browser and keeps your notes in sync wherever you sign in.
