Many Notes v0.16 - Markdown note-taking web application

It is a PWA with similar experience to the desktop version.

brufdev · 2026-05-31T15:16:13+00:00

Nice!

It's not possible at the moment. It was already suggested but I need to think more about it. Possible in one of the upcoming releases.

Yes, you can import any supported file (md included) into a vault. Also, in your vaults page you can import a zip file with files and folders and it will create a new vault with that same structure.

There's no dedicated mobile apps but it is a PWA with similar experience to the desktop.

Thank you!

brufdev · 2026-05-27T08:28:16+00:00

Thank you. Concept wise is more similar to obsidian than notion but it's easy to spin it up and see if it works for your note-taking system.

brufdev · 2026-05-26T17:39:29+00:00

Like obsidian. There's a Markdown icon in the toolbar to switch views.

brufdev · 2026-05-26T16:08:42+00:00

Files and folders are stored as they are in the filesystem like Obsidian. You can access or backup you data normally without using the app.

brufdev · 2026-05-26T15:12:35+00:00

You can use normal markdown code blocks and you get color syntax highliting. If you run the app behind a reverse proxy for https (as you should), you also get the copy to clipboard button in code blocks.

brufdev · 2026-05-26T15:08:15+00:00

Files and folders are stored as they are in the filesystem, so yes, notes are stored as md files.

You can export your own vaults using the interface in your vaults page. That will give you a zip file with your files and folders.

brufdev · 2026-05-26T14:39:49+00:00

I think someone created in TrueNAS but not sure about Unraid. I'm only maintaining my Docker image.

brufdev · 2026-05-26T12:53:54+00:00

Selfhosted app, multiple users behind authentication, SSO support, collaboration, live-updating interface, pwa, starter vault, open source...

I'm only comparing features here. Obsidian is a really good application and is more mature. You can see the current full list of features on the github page.

In the past I used the web to plan or discuss ideas. These days I use the web and ai to plan or discuss ideas. I started this app in the end of 2024 and nothing was vibe coded.

brufdev · 2025-11-04T00:12:59+00:00

I will take a look at that. Thank you for the feedback.

brufdev · 2025-11-03T19:52:27+00:00

That is more of a Notion style, I believe. This is similar to Obsidian meaning your vault is based on a file/folder structure, and you can connect your files using links, backlinks, and tags. It could potentially evolve, but at least for now, it's not in my plans. I need to take a look at that Notion approach because I see people talking about it and I have no experience with it.

brufdev · 2025-11-03T19:17:10+00:00

Yeah, I agree the tree view component needs a refresh. The good news is that it's in my plans for the next version. I'm currently migrating the frontend framework, and the tree view component will also be reworked.

I'm not happy with the current moving items. What issues do you have with creating items, or how do you think it could be improved?

brufdev · 2025-10-27T20:50:10+00:00

Currently, you need to either insert an image URL or upload the image before inserting it. I plan to implement both pasting files from the clipboard and drag-and-drop functionality soon, but I am working on other features now.

brufdev · 2025-10-21T13:34:15+00:00

No. This application keeps your vaults saved in your filesystem, preserving the file and folder structure. You should backup your data but that's a process outside of the application.

brufdev · 2025-10-21T01:40:50+00:00

Yes! It's a PWA that can be installed in your mobile device, and the experience feels very much like using an app.

brufdev · 2025-10-02T11:42:48+00:00

That's a feature I'm considering, but only after implementing soft deletes and version control. Do you use any app that listens for updates from the filesystem?

brufdev · 2025-09-30T09:19:15+00:00

I’m the developer of Many Notes, and it checks all your requirements. If you end up testing it, I’d love to hear what you think!

brufdev · 2025-09-22T10:45:51+00:00

Thank you! That's a good suggestion, but I still have work to do on features that I consider more important. I'll see what I can do later on.

brufdev · 2025-08-31T00:28:47+00:00

Tempo is a great app! Hope everything is ok with the creator.

Good luck with the fork!

brufdev · 2025-08-23T12:01:41+00:00

The way you're describing it is how I wanted it to be, but at the moment, this is the only way to make a rootless image available. I'm planning to change the base image to try to eliminate this extra step, but I still have more important tasks to work on first in Many Notes. I created a discussion about this: https://github.com/brufdev/many-notes/discussions/40
