Get Started

VNote is distributed on Linux, Windows, and macOS. You could always download standalone packages from the Downloads page.

It is recommended to download and use the stable releases of VNote. If you prefer to use some latest features of VNote, you could try the latest continuous build from master branch.

Besides the standalone packages, some package managers may already package and distribute VNote, such as AUR, and homebrew cask.

Main Interface

Here is a snapshot of VNote's main interface.

Main Interface

Notebooks, Folders, and Notes

VNote uses Notebooks, Folders, and Notes hierarchy for note management. The left-side panel is used to navigate through your notebooks, folders, and notes.

A notebook corresponds to a directory in your file system. You should choose an empty directory as your Notebook Root Folder. All the contents of this notebook will be stored within the Notebook Root Folder.

Once you have a notebook, you could create folders in this notebook. VNote supports infinite levels of folders.

Content Area

The middle area which occupies most of the space is the Content Area, which is used to read and edit notes. VNote supports opening multiple notes by tabs.

Dock Widgets

At the left side, there are several dock widgets, including Navigation, Outline, Search and so on. They could be dragged and dropped freely and placed at the left/top/right/bottom of the main window.

Ready To Go

That is it! Now you could read, edit, and mange your notes in VNote!
