About Nextcloud Notes
Nextcloud Notes adds a simple notes and writing app to a self-hosted Nextcloud server. Notes are written in Markdown and stored as ordinary files in your Nextcloud storage, so they sync like any other file and remain readable outside the app.
The app has an API that other clients can use to read and edit notes. It suits people who already run Nextcloud and want their notes on the same server.
Strengths
- Notes stored as plain files on your own server
- Markdown editing in the Nextcloud web interface
- API for third-party clients
Limitations
- Requires a Nextcloud server
- Deliberately simple compared with full note apps
