Promising new notes app

Just playing with a very promising, simple but elegant notes app (for macOS/iOS, I’m afraid - sorry!) called UpNote.
It’s got a number of unusual features. These include:
- bookmarks that appear in a separate list
- the ability to pin notes to the top of the list (not particularly unusual, granted)
- the ability to remove notebooks from the sidebar without deleting them
- a “stay-on-top” function (why more apps don’t have this beats me; it’s exceptionally useful for note-taking)
- a very clean editor with simple formatting, but also checkboxes if you want them
- the ability to “pop out” notes in separate windows (especially useful in combination with the “stay-on-top” function)
Plus the developer is amiable and responsive!
It’s still early days for the app; it could do with a more complete search function (it’s very nicely designed, and works especially well on short notes, but isn’t ideal for longer ones). It could also do with some way of rearranging notebooks in particular, but also more ways to sort the notes themselves. I’ve made a few suggestions; we’ll see how they evolve!
It doesn’t do tagging as such, but you can assign a note to multiple notebooks, so essentially, notebooks = tags.
Cheers!
Bill

Links are always good. Are you talking about this app?

If so I tried it last month. It seemed like just another in the cresting wave of 3-pane synced notes apps, a la Notebooks, Bear, CocoaNotes, Keep It, etc (not to mention the tsunami of Mac only variants).

I like the “stay-on-top” feature.
But, it uses an internal database ...no thanks.
I wish Keep It has that “stay-on-top” feature for each of the windows.

Just what we need, another Mac app in a niche market saturated with Mac apps…

Does it have a dark theme? Anybody know?
