Writing

Markdown, without the marks.

Headings, lists, checklists, tables, pictures and code look like what they are. The marks show only on the line you're editing, and step aside as soon as you move on.

Everything at hand. The format bar at the bottom of the window does it all, and pictures go in by pasting or dragging them.

Part of a weekly plan: headings and checklists, with the Markdown marks showing only on the line being edited.

The line you're editing

Organising

Everything in its place.

Each note lives in one folder. Tags live in the text, like #work or #projects/design, and grow into a tree.

Folders and tags, side by side.

Drag a note onto a folder to move it, or onto a tag to add it. Hold it over a closed one and it opens.

The sidebar with the Personal folder selected, and its notes in the list.

Pictures, right in the note.

Paste them, or drag them in from the Finder, Photos or a browser.

A photo in a note: a yellow tram going down a narrow street in Lisbon.

Tables that line up.

Columns align as you type.

A small budget table with aligned columns.

Room to write.

Swipe with two fingers to hide the sidebar and the list. Pinch out to keep only the note.

A PDF of any note.

Cleanly laid out, ready to share or print.

Days to change your mind.

Deleted notes wait in Recently Deleted.

Edits merged line by line.

Change a note on two devices at once, and nothing is silently lost.

Privacy

Encrypted before it leaves your Mac.

Every note and picture is sealed with AES‑256 on your Mac. iCloud Drive only ever stores ciphertext, and the key stays in your iCloud Keychain, with a recovery key in case you ever need it.

Confidential notes

Add a password to the notes that matter most, and open them with Touch ID. Or lock all of Olnira.

No account

There's nothing to sign up for. Your Mac and your iCloud are all it needs.

Nothing collected

No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Olnira doesn't know who you are.

Your notes

Take them anywhere.

Keep them in iCloud Drive, or in any folder you choose in Settings. Export a note as a PDF, or every note as plain Markdown files with their pictures, whenever you like. Notes from another app come in the same way: put their Markdown files in Olnira's folder.
