LumeNotesLinux · version 0.2.0

Simple notes. Open, write, done.

A light page, typewriter lettering and an amber cursor. LumeNotes saves as you type, so nothing is lost if the window closes mid-sentence.

Your notes are your files

Every note lives in the notas.db database and also as a plain .md file. If you ever want to leave, just take the folder. It opens as a vault in Obsidian, and the files go into Notion through its Markdown importer.

~/Documents/LumeNotes/
├── notas.db   SQLite database
└── Notas/     an .md copy of every note, updated as you type

What it does

Find and replace

Ctrl F highlights as you type and shows a counter like “1 of 3”. Replace one at a time or all at once.

In and out in any format

Drag in an .md, a .txt, an Obsidian folder or a .zip exported from Notion. To leave, export to Markdown, Word or PDF.

  • Paste without formatting, with a notice
  • Drag a note out of the window and the .md lands where you drop it
  • Trash with restore and permanent delete

Narrow mode

Ctrl Alt S shrinks the window to one column, good for keeping next to another program. Ctrl Alt T keeps LumeNotes above other windows.

  • Word, character and reading time counts, for the selection too
  • A spell checker you can turn on and off
  • Arabic and Hebrew, each paragraph in its own direction

Everything from the keyboard

Creating, pinning, exporting and resizing text all have shortcuts. Ctrl / shows the full list when you forget.

Sync without handing over your notes

By default, everything stays on your computer. With your own server, notes live in notas.db, in the Notasfolder, on the server and on the other devices on the same account.

  • If the same note changes on two devices, the newest version stays and the other becomes a note beside it
  • Without a network, everything keeps working and changes are sent when the connection returns
  • With Tailscale, it works from anywhere without opening a port on your router
LumeNotes sync preferences: this computer only, cloud coming soon and your own server

The two files

The first is all you need to start. The second only comes in when you want the same notes on more than one device.
