Elephant: Simple Note Taking App

Elephant is a note taking app that focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It has basic formatting options, tagging, and wiki-style links to connect notes. Great for personal notes and task management.

What is Elephant?

Elephant is a free, open-source note taking application with a simple and clean interface. It does not have many bells and whistles, but focuses on ease of use and quick organization of personal notes, thoughts, and tasks.

Key features of Elephant include:

• Basic text formatting like bold, italic, lists, headers, etc.
• Tagging notes for quick search and filters
• Wiki-style double bracket links to connect notes together
• Available on Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android
• Data stored locally in plain text files that can be synced across devices
• Custom templates for specialized note types
• To-do lists and reminders

Elephant is great for people who want a no-fuss way to dump thoughts and information without getting bogged down by lots of features. It excels at capturing and finding personal notes quickly. The linking between notes can be useful for making a personal wiki of information.

However, Elephant lacks more advanced features like tables, code blocks, markdown support, collaboration tools, cloud sync, diagrams, and more robust organization. For power users with advanced needs, an alternative like Obsidian or Roam Research would be better.
