What is Geeknote?
Geeknote is a free, open-source Evernote client that provides native access to Evernote on Linux, Windows, and Mac operating systems. Developed in Python, Geeknote connects to the Evernote cloud allowing users to create, edit, organize, search, and share notes from their Evernote account.
As an unofficial Evernote client, Geeknote provides similar core functionality as the official Evernote apps including note creation and formatting with text styling options, tagging notes, adding images and attachments, organizing notes into notebooks, and searching through notes. Geeknote also enables offline access allowing users to view, edit, organize, and search notes without an internet connection.
Some key features of Geeknote include:
- Open-source client licensed under GPLv3 for Linux, Windows and Mac
- Native app experience for managing Evernote notes
- Note creation, editing, formatting, tagging, notebook organization
- Image and file attachment support
- Offline mode for accessing notes without internet
- Evernote notebook and tag synchronization
- Evernote search and advanced filtering
- Note version history
- Markdown and code syntax highlighting support
- LaTeX equation support using MathJax
While not as fully featured as Evernote's official apps, Geeknote provides a convenient way for Linux users as well as Windows and Mac users to access core Evernote functionality natively through their desktop environment. For those looking for an open-source, offline-capable Evernote client, Geeknote is an excellent option.
