About this app

🌟 Leaf Note — A dual-platform app focused on Markdown note-taking and knowledge management, supporting WebDAV / iCloud / OneDrive sync, end-to-end encryption, and fully offline functionality.

1. 🎨 Beautiful Design & Personalized Themes

The first time you open LeafNote, you’ll be instantly captivated by its minimalist and elegant interface — from smooth interactive animations to meticulously crafted card-based layouts, every detail has been thoughtfully refined. We offer multiple themes: whether it’s an eye-friendly dark mode for late-night writing or a bright, clean theme for daytime productivity, LeafNote delivers an immersive note-taking experience.

2. 🔒 Bank-Grade Security: Dual Encryption for Notes & App

Security is at the core of our design philosophy:

- Note Encryption: AES-256 encryption algorithm with user-defined passwords ensures your private content remains completely confidential;
- App Lock: Secure the app with fingerprint authentication or a custom password to prevent unauthorized access. Even if your phone is lost or stolen, your knowledge assets remain fully protected.

3. ☁️ Cross-Device Sync: Access Your Note Universe Anytime, Anywhere

Break free from device limitations — we support three major cloud services:

- OneDrive / Dropbox: Sign in with one click for automatic synchronization — ideal for users accustomed to international cloud storage;
- WebDAV: Compatible with private clouds (e.g., Synology, Nextcloud, JiaNuoYun), meeting the needs of advanced users.

All sync operations use TLS-encrypted transmission, ensuring secure, worry-free data flow between cloud and local devices.

Support for multiple data sources — configure and freely switch between several cloud servers.

4. 📝 All-in-One Note Types: No Boundaries for How You Record

Whether crafting text or capturing multimedia inspiration, LeafNote meets all your needs:

- Markdown Notes: Supports headings, tables, code blocks, and more — plus built-in MathJax formula editing (perfect for STEM students writing papers) and Mermaid flowcharts/mind maps (for efficient logical structuring);
- Multimedia Notes: Capture ideas directly via images, voice recordings, and freehand sketches;
- Web-to-Markdown: Paste any webpage URL to instantly parse and save its content as Markdown — bookmarking web articles has never been easier.

5. 🧠 From Personal Knowledge Base to Card-Based Notes: Flexible Adaptation to Learning Scenarios

- Knowledge Base Mode: Build your personalized knowledge tree using “infinite hierarchical folders + tag system”;
- Card-Note Mode: Single-note “quick capture” lets fragmented inspirations spark creative breakthroughs;
- Note Search: Instantly locate any note among thousands — dramatically boosting retrieval efficiency;
- Knowledge Review: Multi-dimensional review mechanisms reinforce long-term retention;
- Data Analytics: Heatmaps + statistics give you real-time insight into your knowledge asset status.

Ratings and reviews

Wrote a whole bunch with it. Every time I left the app, a little note told me it was saved. Great! Then I restarted my phone for a system update and everything I wrote was just gone. 🙃 No history, no files, nothing at all to indicate I'd ever used it. Aside from that one major issue, it seems to work really well, but I'm not going to take the risk again.

Love the app so far. Purchased the premium. Love to style my notes with css and html too. Awesome! Only things id like to see is the ability to lock a folder or note of choice from spying eyes or lock it so I don't accidently edit or delete it. Thank you for the hard work! Edited to say I found out how to import my own css. Perfect!! Changing to 5 stars now. 2024... Still 5 stars! Thank you!

Love the app for 'read-only' view of a note. Love the one-time-payment feature at the time time of 'Subscriptions World'. But here's no option for download or export the image/picture after adding it. Cloud sync can be premium, but device import/export should be a minimum option of a notepad. Will buy premium one-day after original image adding/ exporting feature comes.

What’s new

In this new version, we have added the Note Snippet feature, which can be used as note fragments or templates to insert into your notes. Additionally, we have redesigned the "Review" page, updated the note styles and entry points to facilitate your review process. Finally, we have optimized other details.
