Laverna

Laverna can be used to write notes and store them in a secure database. The application provides a comfortable markdown editing system, cloud integration capabilities, as well as other useful features. You can write down simple notes, create To-do lists, save code snippets and much more. The elegant design of the user interface and its straightforward controls make everything extremely easy.

The software is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and it is offered completely free of charge. Its core components come in a ZIP archive, so you only need to extract it and run the executable. The application doesn't have any special requirements and you don't need powerful hardware to run it.

Laverna's clean and simple user interface is quite easy to learn. Notes can be created in a column, on the left side, and you can view their contents in the larger area on the right. The software places the entire interface at your disposal when you decide to edit a new or existing note. What's more, you can switch to a distraction free mode, so you can focus on your work.

When editing a note, you can make various font and paragraph adjustments, insert pictures and more. Also, Laverna has a code highlighting feature, which can help you keep track of snippets much easier. When you are not editing notes, you may categorize them in separate notebooks, tag them or mark them as favorites.

Another useful feature is the possibility of synchronizing everything with a cloud folder. The application can be linked to a Dropbox account or other remote storage locations. As a result, everything you store in Laverna will be uploaded automatically on the cloud.

The possibility of keeping notes in a highly efficient manner is exactly what you can expect from Laverna.
