Iotas is a simple note taking app with mobile-first design and a focus on sync with Nextcloud Notes.

Although simple by design there are a few features

  • Sync. with Nextcloud Notes
  • Offline note editing, syncing when back online
  • Basic search
  • Favorites
  • Spell checking
  • Category editing and filtering
  • Note backup and restoration from CLI for using without sync.
  • The ability to change font size and toggle monospace style

Writing in markdown is supported but optional, featuring

  • Syntax highlighting with themes
  • A formatted view
  • The ability to check off task lists from the formatted view

Slightly more technical details, for those into that type of thing

  • Nextcloud Notes sync. is via the REST API, not WebDAV, which makes it snappy
  • There's basic sync. conflict detection
  • Notes are constantly saved
  • Large note collections are partially loaded to quicken startup

Why "Iotas"? An iota is a little bit and this app is designed for jotting down little things on little devices. Iota stems from the same Greek word as jot and is commonly used in negative statements eg. "not one iota of …", but we think the word has more to give. Maybe somebody will take note?

I've been waiting awhile to see an easy to use Linux environment app for Nextcloud Notes, and this one seems to work really well. The UI is simple and robust, and the synchronizaiton makes pretty good sense.
