QOwnNotes is one of the best multi-platform supported note taking and To-Do list-making apps for Linux, Windows, and macOS. It’s open-source software that comes with an “Owncloud” system or “Nextcloud” integration. Users can store all the notes on the desktop as simple plain text files. As I have said earlier, it supports both the desktop and mobile sync through the ownCloud or Nextcloud sync client. So what does it mean to it as a cloud client? Users can write and edit all sorts of notes and to-do lists with QOwnNotes and have access or search on mobile devices or through the browser as web services.
