Notes

What is a note ?

A note in Zettel Notes is a plain text file. It can have any of the supported file extensions (eg. md, org, txt etc.). Zettel Notes parses all the files in a repository / folder / vault defined by the user and saves in database.

Whatever changes are made by the user are automatically saved in the note file. This way you can use any application you want to read your notes and are not dependent on Zettel Notes (vendor agnostic).
