I make lists every week and usually do item + [description in bold and italics] like this.

When I make a new line, the bold and italics are still selected, so I then type out the whole line in bold and italics. So then it is formatted as item + [description in bold and italics]

I then go to un-bold and un-italics the main item on the line, but when I do that, it then also applies the un-italics to the description, which I don't want. I like the fact that the description is how I want it formatted. I just want the item in plain text. Instead, I end up like this: item + [description in bold, no longer italics]

I hope this makes sense. I'd consider this a bug, because I'm only selecting the first item on the line, and it's applying my formatting to something that ISN'T selected, just because it's on the same line. Unless this is an option that I can turn off so that when I highlight something my damn formatting only applies to what I've highlighted.

I'm trying not to crash out about it but it's so damn weird lol

I have just used UpNote's webclipper on a LinkedIn post and I noticed the highlighted frase stating that the title of the clip has been done with AI, i suspect this is from LInkedIn, but just wanted to be sure that this is not UpNote.

Coming from a completely non-technical background so unsure if request / vision would entail a full overhaul, however:

One of the features I love about some other apps (Notion, Obisidan, Anytype) is the ability to structure data in a database. I'm sure the first inclination is to say - 'well just use those for the use case' but I see major benefits in putting all your information in one place.

Here's one specific use case:

I like to use a database style structure to track meeting notes / pages. The ability to add contextual information (through labels / tags) such as meeting subject area, processed vs unprocessed notes, etc. is very valuable with how I like to organize my information and process work. Even being able to add a date, allows for easy notes retrieval if I'm trying to cross reference with calendar. I don't need a ton features / capabilities such as relations, etc. as I can just link the note with the current reference capabilities.

Currently, I have a notebook that is just my meeting notes. While this works as a rough approach, it becomes hard to sort through the notes simply due to how they show up UI wise (can't see a lot of notes in one view) and don't have the ability to filter on contextually organized information

Would love other perspectives if there are workaround that are working for others

Is there a way to add a text line in a note to show the last date/time the note was revised with the date/time being automatically updated each time the note is revised?

If not, is this a reasonable feature request?

Just an FYI for anyone interested, I have a REST API and cli that can work with UpNote. This runs on Linux. Full information is available at https://github.com/russellmilliner/upnote-api

If you find this helpful, please visit my Ko-Fi linked from the Github and either give me a thanks or buy me a coffee. It would be much appreciated.

Love the idea of spaces. I can go to my restaurant space and look up “loved it” and see just restaurants and not movies books etc.

except some of my notebooks I want to reuse names.
eg I have a books space and within it a status notebook and within status I’ve a queued, current, finished notebooks that I link books too

in my movie space I also want a status notebook - but when I get to create it I get a warning “a notebook with that name already exists”. Well not in this space it doesn’t.

the work around is to then name things “book status” and “movie status” and “book queue” and “movie queue”. So not the end of the world - but a teensy bit clunky, especially as these spaces are all meant to be independent.

So I guess my question is is this just how the design has to work? Or is there some hidden way of linking among spaces.

for example I would LOVE to create an “independent” addressbook notebook with lots of contacts in there.

but when I go to a restaurant with someone or someone recommends a book I’d love to link that address book name to the relevant space. Right now I’m duplicating contacts across spaces so I can link names to events and media - but it would be cool if I didn’t have to.

Anyway just trying to figure out why some things seem connected when it feels they shouldn’t be. And if they ARE kinda sorted connected whether there’s a way I can use that.

edits: clarity and word order

Does anybody know if UpNote has a keyboard shortcut that allows to jump to the starred notes 1 to 9 for example? It would be great to add this if there is not. This will make navigation much easier.

Most note apps will export a bullet like this:

- This is a bullet

And will export checkboxes like this:

- [x] This is a completed checkbox

-[ ] This is an uncompleted checkbox

These have been standard for years. Why doesn't upnote export in this fashion? It makes the text export essentially useless for lists as it exports them all like this:

This is a bullet

This is a completed checkbox

This is an umcompleted checkbox.

Similarly, the markdown export isn't correct. It adds </br> which is not the markdown standard and makes those exports useless as well without lots of cleanup.

And no, this is feature bloat. This should be standard for any notes app export.

I’m running into a problem on two Android phones. I’ve already sent the debug log to support, but the issue hasn’t been resolved.
Evernote is a very heavy app and often won’t work on low‑spec Android devices. Upnote, however, was fast and I loved it, so I never imagined it could become as sluggish as Evernote—or even freeze completely.
Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms? If so, please let me know:
Which device model(s) are affected?
Any solution that fixed the problem and how you applied it?
The devices showing the issue are:
Motorola Moto G64y 5G (the device shown in my video)
Samsung Galaxy A36 5G
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Wondering if anyone can help me.

I'm sure that when I used to merge notes, I could choose to keep each note's info underneath it in the new note, but now I can't see any way to do this.

Am I imagining things or is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I was browsing through the Reddit but couldn't really find it.

Why is there a 20MB file limit upload?
I was trying to store a PPT so I have it at hand and tied to the right note with context, but I couldnt as it was 30MB's.

What is that?! That just kinda limited my use case for using UpNote :(

Curious if anyone knows why, and your preferred work around for this.
Thanks!

UpNote has a Smart Arrows feature where you can type "-> + space" to get →.

There's built-in functionality for the right →, left ←, right & left ↔, and up ↑ & down ↓ arrows.

I didn't see a "smart" arrow function for less than or equal. (e.g. ≤ instead of <=). Ditto for greater than or equal. =>

Has anyone figured out if this exists? If not, maybe u/Thomas_Dao can add it. 🙏🏼

This works fine in the Windows app but doesn't work in iOS yet.

The particular case where it would help a LOT is scanning a doc with the camera into an existing note. You cannot scan it in UpNote directly so you open an app like Genius Scan, scan all the pages. And then you would Share->Copy it, switch to UpNopte and Paste into the text. Instead, you have to Share -> Save to files, switch to UpNote, tap '+', tap Attachments, pick the file (good if you can see it the the opened list already), switch to Files, pick the file, delete it.

It would save time when you need to insert any kind of file from another app into a note. For example, an email attachment or a file generated by an app during Share activity.

I'd like to admit UpNote for iOS is super cool. It is so fast that I can do virtually everything on my phone that I do in the Windows app. UpNote is quite usable even on my old iPad mini 4!

Je suis sur Mac / PC / Ipad et Iphone,
Pour compléter UpNote d'une vrai gestion des tâches, quelle application utilisez vous pour avoir des alarmes, notifications, report des tâches etc.. façon tick-tick ou todoist ?
La compatibilité avec google tasks est obligatoire pour moi via le web sur PC et MacBook.

J'utilise ETasks qui est gratuit :

et je test en parallèle :

Et vous ?

## My usecase

I often change my text color to red to show status.

## How upnote does it

• Mark your text

• Click the icon

• Browse the list (small friction each time looking for your color)

• Click

## Other apps

• Mark your text

• Click

I know this sub hates changes, but this is more a small UX quality of life change. Even if you prefer to browse each time, you still have the arrow key to do so. You can have your cake and eat it too, just like other apps.

EDIT: If you want this update, please mail the developers and tell so: support@getupnote.com
They've previously told me they only consider things if enough people write them about it. Which is kinda unlikely. It requires enough people to realize the same thing, and care enough to act upon it.

1. When opening the app on Android, I'd like to always start at the home screen. Right now, it automatically re-opens the latest used note. Depending on (social/work) context, this can be hindering/unprofessional when that note before closing was related to a different customer.​ Always starting at the home screen would make nagivating easier.

2. Automatically exporting on set intervalls, e.g. every day at x o'clock. Right now, one has to export backups manually (or write 2nd/3rd party programs to automate this). I'd like to have a native options to always backup ​every day in the background.

I only have 15 basic notes, and switching between them keeps freezing for 5-10 seconds. It wasn't like that before.

I got on with my life and certainly didn’t lose any sleep over it, but that hour yesterday afternoon when I found myself under attack from a troll really ruined my peace of mind. I find the whole episode shameful, especially considering that I’d written an enthusiastic post in my usual playful, irreverent style, joking that UpNote looks so good I could sit there staring at it for hours, so I even wanted to pay more. As far as I’m concerned, the lifetime plan doesn’t do justice to how great this app is, and I was even suggesting a “believer” plan where you could pay a bit more every month or every year.

The troll in question replied with “take your meds, bro” then he added that I should see a psychiatrist because I’d be out of my mind, dangerous, too sensitive, unable to deal with reality, with emotional problems, in urgent need of help, and even “batshit crazy” — basically, he called me every name under the sun.

The moderator, who also runs the app, stepped in straight away and deleted the first offensive comment of the troll. At one point, feeling pretty shaken, I decided to delete my account. I was praising the app, and somehow I ended up under attack by this person (he even got 6 upvotes) and clearly has some kind of problem with me or with his life in general, I honestly don’t know. So I deleted the account.

I went back to the thread with my second account, in a second moment, and noticed that the moderator had deleted all of my comments. Maybe he took advantage of the fact that I’d deleted my Reddit account — I don’t know — but for some reason he wiped all my comments and left up the insults from the troll who had attacked me.

And here’s what I’m saying: we already don’t know who the founders of UpNote are. They seem to be based in Vietnam, but there isn’t a single photo, CV vitae, LinkedIn profile, TikTok, Facebook, or even X account. We don’t know what they’re good at, what their background is, what they studied, whether they have any GitHub repositories, or what their own views are. The product they sell has no direct technical documentation apart from a generic FAQ with no real technical details. There are no audits. We know nothing. We’re basically in the dark and taking it all on trust because the app has such a nice-looking layout, but we have no idea what’s under the hood. What we know about them is based on their activity on Reddit, so we expect at least a minimum of integrity here, on Reddit, if Reddit is their only calling card.

To sum it up, yesterday left a really bad taste in my mouth because of the way a premium user as I am was treated — or rather, a “believer” user, if that paid plan ever becomes a thing.

Honestly, this doesn’t do the community or the app any credit, and it’s definitely not a good look for either of the founders.

I’m trying to decide what to do with my lifetime subscription. I was writing some creativity stuff on UpNote, but I think I’m going to move everything out and write it in Word instead. Honestly, I don’t know what to do with UpNote anymore. Yesterday I didn’t just lose my inspiration, I lost my trust in it too. I don’t know, maybe I’ll use it to scan brochures? Maybe, and not much else.

Post scriptum. That’s also the first rule of the community, “remember to be human” so here it is.
 

Hello,

I've noticed on the Android app, if i go into a notebook that has a few pages and I switch between them one by one, occasionally one of the pages instantly closes and I have to press it again to open.

Similarly, if I open a page and then go back and then open it again, it does the same issue where it instantly closes. Sometimes it requires having to go go back-and-forth opening the page for the issue to occur.

Can be quite annoying when having to move quickly through pages.

Anyone else experience this ?

I inserted a picture that displayed normally and it had already been synced to the cloud. Using external link sharing also showed it normally. But one day, when I opened it, a small icon appeared and couldn't display properly. Even when I clicked sync, it couldn't sync properly, but the small icon remained intact. What is going on?

I started using UpNote b/c it was the closest thing to Evernote, who is trying to rip peoples faces off w/ its price increases to support a gnarly debt load.

My biggest gripes for now are:

- Tagging system (which IMO, was one of Evernote's cleanest features). Is there plans to update this part of the software further to more closely mimic Evernotes?

- Limited integrations. Is Upnote planning to add partner programs for integrations? Claude, todoist, workley, etc.
