Nope, it’s compatible with Dropbox, iCloud and, I believe, any WebDAV server (can’t remember the specifics of the Windows version, offhand, but the Mac version is also capable of *acting* as a WebDAV server if you want it to).

It’s pretty lean and efficient, I’ve found. Only negative: if you’ve got a lot of notes in a given notebook, it can take a little time for Windows to load the list. That’s because notebooks are actually folders, and notes are actually single HTML/text files. On the other hand, I have over three million words in my Notebooks databases (yes, it also keeps track of statistics like that). The advantage of this format is that it’s Dropbox-resilient and files can be pulled into other editors/note managers.

It’s also got a very good search function which indexes attached files (PDFs for certain; I think maybe also MS Office files, but that may be platform-dependent). There’s loads more info on Alfons Schmid’s website (http://www.notebooksapp.com)

I can’t think of many “intermediate” note managers in the same league. A rather quirky but powerful alternative for Windows that hasn’t, however, been updated since 2012, is AM-Notebook (http://www.aignes.com/notebook.htm). That may also appeal to you.
