In the article "Cloud Notes Suitable for Programmers - WizNote", WizNote was recommended. At that time, it was still free, but some users may have abandoned it after it started charging. In that case, you can choose Leanote, or the one I am going to introduce next, VNote. VNote is a note-taking application designed specifically for Markdown, inspired by Vim.

VNote is a free and open-source note-taking software based on the Qt framework. It supports clients for Windows, Linux, and other platforms. Since the author is a heavy user of Markdown, VNote has excellent support for Markdown, making it a programmer's paradise.

User Experience

VNote stores data completely locally. You can choose to sync with Jianguo Cloud or Seafile. Compared to self-hosted Leanote, VNote can save on setup and maintenance costs.

VNote also supports a clear outline view, making the structure of articles clear at a glance.

When using it for the first time, I encountered a small issue. After creating a root folder for notes, I found that I couldn't create files directly. I had to create a subfolder first and then create the note. This is something to note.

VNote supports unlimited levels of folders within a notebook. You can copy or cut folders and notes within or between notebooks.

Conclusion

VNote is a lightweight software that can be used immediately after downloading. Its features are continuously being developed and improved. If you prefer to store notes locally, I highly recommend this note-taking application. If you don't want to hassle with setup, WizNote might be a better choice.
