Your notes stay plain text, always. Markdown highlighting is paint over the raw characters: it never touches your file, and it switches off whenever you want.
Smart quotes, autocorrect and text replacement are off by default, because they quietly break JSON, YAML and code. Spell check stays on: it underlines, it never edits.
Export to PDF or HTML, or copy as rich text to paste straight into Mail, Pages or Word. The HTML is self-contained and loads nothing from the internet. Print either the raw text or the formatted document.
Notanik opens UTF-8, UTF-16 and Windows-1252, and keeps the original encoding and line endings when it saves. Old files come back exactly as they were.
Autosave in place, with macOS versions and Revert To. A dark mode you pick yourself. One window, one file.
Nothing you write leaves your Mac.
No account, no cloud, no subscription.
