NoteLace is a local-first Markdown notes application designed for connected thinking across macOS, Windows, and Linux. It empowers writers and researchers to link, organize, and own their notes without proprietary lock-in.
This SaaS is ideal for writers, researchers, and anyone who values a robust, offline-first note-taking experience with powerful organizational features and privacy at its core.
NoteLace is perfect for researchers compiling extensive bibliographies and connecting disparate concepts, allowing them to weave their research together with wiki-links and backlinks, and organize findings into dynamic database views. Writers can leverage its distraction-free environment and live Markdown preview to focus on drafting, knowing their work is saved locally and accessible offline, even on a plane or in a tunnel. For anyone seeking to escape the complexities of plugin-heavy note apps, NoteLace offers a streamlined, "out-of-the-box" solution for managing personal knowledge bases, project notes, or daily journals without configuration headaches.
NoteLace operates on a single, transparent paid plan, costing €5 per month or €48 per year (saving 20%). A generous 14-day free trial is available, requiring no credit card to start. After the trial, notes remain readable and exportable even if you don't subscribe, ensuring no data lock-in.
The application boasts a clean, intuitive interface with nine customizable themes, designed to stay out of your way. It offers a "calm place to write" with features like a year-long writing heatmap, streaks, and daily goals for gentle encouragement. Comprehensive documentation is available via the "Docs" and "How it works" sections, guiding users from sign-up to advanced features.
NoteLace is a native desktop application available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring optimal performance and integration with each operating system. It adheres to a local-first architecture, storing all data on the user's machine. Optional cloud synchronization is powered by hosted CouchDB, providing each account with its own private database for secure, unlimited note storage up to 15 GB. Notes are written in standard, portable Markdown format.
NoteLace provides a powerful yet simple solution for connected thinking, offering unparalleled control over your notes with its local-first, Markdown-centric approach. Its robust feature set, combined with a commitment to privacy and user ownership, makes it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable and future-proof note-taking system.
