qownnotes

qownnotes is an open-source note-taking application for Linux. It is built around plain-text notes written with Markdown. The program is suited to learners, teachers, and other users who need to create and maintain text-based notes. Its placement in the Education category reflects this use of written notes for study and teaching-related work.

Markdown provides a simple way to structure note content while keeping the underlying files in plain text. qownnotes can also optionally work with the notes application provided by Nextcloud or ownCloud. This connection is available for users who want their notes to work with one of those services. The application is also associated with GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows, while this MirrorNest entry is for Linux.

qownnotes is distributed through MirrorNest as a mirror of the official build. MirrorNest stores that build on its own storage rather than presenting an unrelated repackaging. The mirrored file is scanned for malware before it is published. This gives Linux users a catalog-based way to obtain the open-source application while keeping the source and distribution method clearly identified.
