Nextcloud Notes is a simple, distraction-free note-taking application for Nextcloud. It stores notes as regular files in your Nextcloud, making them accessible and syncable across Nextcloud clients and devices.

Key Features

  • Notes stored as files in your Nextcloud (compatible with Nextcloud sync clients)
  • Markdown formatting support for writing and previewing
  • Categories for organizing notes
  • Favorites for quick access to important notes
  • JSON-based REST API for integrations and mobile/third-party clients
  • Admin defaults configurable via Nextcloud occ commands (mode, file extension, default folder)

Use Cases

  • Personal note-taking synced across desktop and mobile via Nextcloud
  • Team or shared note folders managed through Nextcloud file sharing
  • Integrating notes into custom apps via the Notes REST API

Nextcloud Notes is a good fit if you want lightweight notes that remain plain files inside your Nextcloud storage, while still providing a focused editor, Markdown support, and an integration-friendly API.
