Notebooks – Write and Organize 12.4.2

Notebooks is an incredibly versatile app that offers a wide range of features for all your writing and organizational needs. It functions as a writing tool, a text and markdown editor, a personal Wiki and Zettelkasten, a file organizer, task manager, PDF and eBook creator, and more. The app effortlessly combines these functionalities into one seamless experience, allowing you to remain focused and creative while handling various tasks.

• Notebooks ensures that all your documents are stored as regular files in standard formats, giving you complete control over your work and eliminating any concerns about exporting or compatibility.
• You have the option to create formatted documents with styles, attachments, tables, or checklists. Additionally, you can add a table of contents for easy navigation. Choose from a variety of ready-made document styles or create your own.
• Writing in plain text is made easier with Notebooks' automatic handling of lists, highlighting, and centering the current line on screen. You can trust that closing characters like (, {, [, " will be inserted automatically. Plain text is a universal format that can be used on any device without requiring specific software.
• Need to create formatted documents from plain text? Notebooks supports MultiMarkdown and its own flavor of Discount. Simply click on any word in a formatted Markdown text to start writing at that position. You can even create checklists and tick them off in the formatted view. Syntax highlighting and dedicated keyboard keys make Markdown editing simple.
• If you have an Apple Pencil, you can utilize it to sketch ideas or annotate images and PDF documents within Notebooks.
• Take advantage of Notebooks' advanced editing capabilities to work on documents stored in other apps.
• Compiling selected documents or entire books into a single document, an eBook, or a PDF is a breeze with Notebooks.
• Linking between documents is made easy in Notebooks. In Markdown, you can even use Wiki-style links. When you click on a link to a non-existent document, Notebooks suggests creating it. Furthermore, if you move or rename documents, Notebooks ensures that links remain intact.
• Organize your projects and details by creating as many books as you need. There are no limits to nesting books in Notebooks. Full-text search functionality helps you quickly locate even the most hidden document when needed.
• Turn books into task lists, enabling you to display documents as tasks that can be checked off. Assign due dates, alerts, and divide projects into nested sub-projects for easier management.
• For simple lists, you can use checklists in formatted documents and Markdown.
• Create context tags for books and documents to create shortcuts accessible from a smart book at the top level of Notebooks. The app can even extract context tags from document contents as you create them.
• Import all the files and documents you want to keep close at hand, whether they are PDFs, emails, web pages, MS Office or iWorks files, photos, videos, music, and more.
• With OCR capabilities (iOS 13), you can scan documents and extract text directly within Notebooks.
• Sync files seamlessly between your iPads, iPhones, Macs, or PCs.
