Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Developer focused log-style entry note format makes it quick to add time stamped notes as you’re working on things. Keyboard optimized, with optional vim keybindings. Tiny mode can float on top of all your other windows for easy access to manage notes. Attach code, images or make notes todo items. Use offline or with cloud sync. Markdown formatting.

Tradeoffs

Notes stored in a database on-disk, but can be exported to JSON. Theme doesn’t switch based on system settings (have to manually toggle dark or light mode).
