Write Notes with Markdown

  • More formatting options than Apple Notes
  • Callouts
  • Code highlighting

Markdown note

Markdown post

⚠️

Don’t mix Apple Notes formats with markdown in the same line.

But it’s safe to use markdown with Apple Notes in different lines, e.g. a title uses Apple Notes format, a body text uses markdown.

Callouts

Callout is used to highlight important information:

:::note
This is a note.
:::
 
:::tip
This is a tip.
:::
 
:::assert
This is an important information.
:::
 
:::warn
This is a warning.
:::
 
:::caution
This is a caution.
