Notes: Fast and beautiful note-taking app written in C++. (macOS App)

Notes is an open source and cross-platform note-taking app that is both beautiful and powerful.

Features

Native app (written in C++ with Qt).
Fast with a low memory footprint.
Fully open source and cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows).
Completely private - tracks nothing.
Beautiful and sleek looking, yet still powerful.
Folders and tags. Organize your ideas hierarchically using nested folders and universally using tags.
Markdown Support. Format text without lifting your hands from the keyboard.
Different themes. Switch between Light, Dark, and Sepia.
Feed View. Select multiple notes to see them all one after another in the editor.
Always runs in the background. Use the hotkey Win+Shift+N to summon Notes. Ctrl+N for macOS.
Keyboard shortcuts. Meant to have the option to be used solely with a keyboard (but more work needs to be done there).

These are the default keyboard shortcuts provided by Notes.

Right now they can't be easily customized, but that's on the roadmap! :)

On supported systems, these shortcuts can be activated even if Notes' window is not active at the moment.
