What is Notate?
Notate is a native Markdown notes app being built for Mac, iPad and iPhone. It brings writing, everyday capture and connected ideas together, with standard Markdown files at its heart.
Where do my notes live?
Your regular notes live in the library folder you choose as standard UTF-8 Markdown (.md) files. You can open them in other compatible apps. Notate’s indexes and caches can be rebuilt from those files.
Does Notate work offline?
Yes. Writing, browsing and saving your notes work offline. Any synchronisation depends on the folder or file provider you use. Optional external AI services need an internet connection.
Do I have to use AI?
No. The core writing experience works independently of AI. Assistance is optional. Supported Apple on-device features depend on your device; external providers are disabled initially and require your own API key and an explicit Review and Send step.
When can I download it?
Notate is currently in development for macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and iOS 26 or later. Download details, pricing and a release date have not been announced yet.
