About Nóta
SYNC YOUR WAY
Nóta connects to your own Nextcloud server using the official Login Flow v2; secure, no passwords stored, just a simple browser-based approval. Your notes stay on your server, always in your control.
WRITE BEAUTIFULLY
A clean markdown editor with live preview lets you format your thoughts the way you want. Bold, italic, headings, checklists, dividers; all supported. Images can be shared directly into notes and are uploaded to your Nextcloud storage.
WORKS OFFLINE
Read and write notes even without an internet connection. Nóta stores everything locally and syncs automatically when you're back online. Changes made on other devices are pulled in on the next sync.
KEEP IT PRIVATE
Lock the entire app or individual notes with biometric authentication; fingerprint or face unlock. Protected notes show only the title in the list; the content stays hidden until you unlock.
STAY ORGANIZED
Group notes with categories, filter your list with a single tap, and search across all your notes instantly. The date format is clean and consistent throughout.
SHARE ANYTHING
See something worth saving? Share text or images directly to Nóta from any app on your phone. Images are automatically uploaded to a dedicated folder on your Nextcloud and embedded in your note.
ADD TO TASKS
Nóta integrates with Tasks.org; turn any note into a task with a single tap, right from the note list or inside the note itself.
DARK & LIGHT MODE
A carefully crafted dark mode with a deep navy glass aesthetic, and a clean light mode for daytime use. Switch instantly with a single tap; your preference is saved automatically.

What’s new
Version 2.1.0 · Updated September 18, 2026
✨ New - Category tree: a left-side drawer replaces the category pills. - Add, rename, and delete categories directly from the drawer. - Search and category filtering now work together, instead of one overriding the other. 🐛 Fixed - Opening an existing note without changing anything no longer marks it as modified; it used to jump to the top of the list until you manually refreshed. - Existing notes now open in preview mode instead of straight into raw editing.
