  • 1.8.4

Notable is a lightweight, open-source note-taking application built around plain Markdown files, developed by Fabio Spampinato and currently offered in version 1.8.4. Designed for users who want full control over their notes without vendor lock-in, the program stores everything as regular .md documents in a configurable folder, making the entire notebook instantly searchable with any file manager or version-control system. The editor provides a split-pane view that renders Markdown in real time, supports GitHub-flavored extensions such as tables, task lists, and fenced code blocks, and allows inline HTML when richer formatting is required. Notes can be tagged, pinned, and filtered through a fast fuzzy-search bar, while attachments and images are kept adjacent to their parent file, simplifying backup or cloud-sync workflows. Because the underlying format is plain text, the same notebook can be edited concurrently on mobile devices or opened in any other Markdown-aware tool without conversion. Developers frequently use Notable to maintain project wikis, track meeting minutes, or draft documentation that will later be published to GitHub, whereas academics and writers appreciate the ability to keep a Zettelkasten-style knowledge base that will remain readable decades from now. The application belongs to the Office & Productivity / Text Editors & Note Tools category, runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is distributed under the MIT license, ensuring transparency and long-term accessibility. Notable is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
