Beaver Notes: A Private Open-Source Note-Taking App
|
|
======
|
|
A privacy-focused note-taking app available cross-platform. Let's take a
|
|
look at it!
|
|
Are you looking for a privacy-focused, note-taking app?
|
|
|
|
Well, then, we stumbled upon just the right thing for you!
|
|
|
|
Beaver Notes is an **open-source, cross-platform note-taking app** that **stores notes locally** , foregoing any risk of data breaches and allowing for offline access to the stored notes.
|
|
|
|
I think it can make its way to our list of [best note-taking apps for Linux][1] soon.
|
|
|
|
Allow me to take you through this app; I also share my initial impressions below.
|
|
|
|
### Beaver Notes: Overview ⭐
|
|

#### Initial Impressions 👨💻
|
|
|
|
After installing it on my [Ubuntu 22.04][4] system, I populated Beaver Notes with a few random notes and the two introduction notes it already came with.
|
|
|
|
When I launched Beaver Notes, I was taken to the homepage that featured many things. One was a **neatly organized section with all my notes;** then there was the **search menu with note-sorting options** beside it.
|
|
|
|
The last thing was **a sidebar menu** that **housed important options** for creating/editing a new note, accessing all/archived notes, toggling dark mode, and the settings menu.
|
|
|
|
![][5]
|
|
|
|
I then went on to look at the **note-editing experience**.
|
|
|
|
As mentioned earlier, **Beaver Notes has support for** [**Markdown**][6], and my editing experience with it was pretty intuitive; it gave me all the usual options that one would expect from an editor like this.

|
Interestingly, it also features a ' **Focus Mode** '. When enabled, it hid all the menu elements and took me into full-screen mode for a more immersed editing experience.
|
|

|
While the feature puts you into full-screen mode, I exited it to take the following screenshot.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Another feature that caught my eye was the ' **Headings Tree** ' feature. This made it effortless to navigate around larger notes that consisted of many headings.
|
|
|
|
![][9]
|
|
|
|
Beaver Notes also has a **note tagging system** that lets you organize your notes more effectively. Simply add an '#' with the tag name, and a new tag will be created.
|
|
|
|
Thereafter, you can sort it using the tag sorting menu near the search bar or by clicking on the tags on the homepage.
|
|
|
|
![][10]
|
|
|
|
You can also **archive notes**. **** Instead of deleting a note, I could archive one and access it from the dedicated 'Archive' option on the sidebar menu for later use.
|
|
|
|
![][11]
|
|
|
|
What about customizing its appearance?
|
|
|
|
The ' **Settings'** menu features the usual options to change the app theme between 'Light', 'Dark', and 'System'.
|
|
|
|
It also lets you export data with/without a password, as well as the ability to import notes.
|
|
|
|
![][12]
|
|
|
|
Finally, we have the 'Shortcuts' menu that shows all the keyboard shortcuts available to use on Beaver Notes.
|
|
|
|
![][13]
|
|
|
|
In my brief usage, Beaver Notes seems like a solid note-taking option, especially if you don't want any form of cloud syncing involved.
|
|
|
|
I suggest you try it, as it offers plenty of valuable features.
|
|
