QOwnNotes

Features
QOwnNotes saves each note created by the user as a separate text document. These documents can be tagged, sorted, or searched for using the app. QOwnNotes allows for the exporting of notes as a PDF, HTML document, or as a markdown file. QOwnNotes allows users to encrypt or decrypt notes using AES-256 by default, but also allows for custom encryption.
The interface of QOwnNotes can be customized; the user can move and hide different menus. Users can create custom themes, changing the font, text size, and colors used in the text editor.
