    • What is one-time purchase on Mac AppStore?

      When you purchase the app on the Mac App Store, you could keep the current version of the app as long as you want and use it for years without any limited. You can share the app with all your devices using the same iCloud account or your Family Sharing plan. It is a limited-time deal as a thank you to our early supporters.

    • Is my note secure?

      We cannot access your data and we do not store your data on our servers.

    • How my note is sync and backup?

      It syncs and backs up to your iCloud service, which is the best service Apple provides for your iCloud account. Only you can access your notes.

      Yes, our app is fully functional offline, allowing you to capture, edit, and access your notes even without an internet connection.

    • I like the app, I find it easy to use, and appreciate that it's real files and folders but I can also edit the font and styling. Works with my brain, I'm glad I got this app and that you were so responsive this summer!

    • Confluence does some things really well, but its lousy expandable sections drive me absolutely crazy. I'm a big expandables guy, and have two clients that work in the Atlassian ecosystem, so I'm frustrated by it all the time. Despite that, when I first tried ConniePad a few months ago, I was actually pretty exited at the idea of porting that UI into a stand-alone app. You've done a great job of that. Not to mention the local-first approach to storage, and optional syncing via personal cloud — which is a major plus for me. I always look for apps where I control the sync/storage. When I tried the app again today, I was happy to see the update has a dark mode option too.

    • As someone who bought the premium version this summer, and likes it, I am glad this app can get to more people! The formatting options are really nice compared to some other note taking apps. Great job.

    • Hey man, I actually love your App - you really made a great product here.

    • I love the look of it, was looking at the app shots and said it reminds me so much of Confluence, and then boom, I see its Confluence compatible!! Will be following its development and possibly purchase soon, especially when it gets the iOS version. Great job dev!

    • Hey, this looks pretty neat!.

    • Hi, caught my eye as a slightly better to Notes App from Apple

    • The app looks great! I hope Apple hires you to make this native on their notes app.

    • For anyone looking for a good markdown type app, I can confirm ConniePad is like a cross between IA writer and Upnote. It's got a bunch of rich text formatting, but all the notes and folders are local based and it's a helpful way for me to organize my research. Dev is super nice too!
