It's easiest to take notes and jot down ideas when you don't have to think about where to put them. Create new notes and search existing ones with blazing fast accuracy, all from the same place. Just start typing!
nvUltra uses plain text (MultiMarkdown) files for all of your notes. They're always yours, never locked in a database or a proprietary format. Edit them with any other application, even while you're using nvUltra. We'll keep up!
Any folder on your Mac can be a notebook, and you can start a new one any time. You can have as many notebooks as you need. One for work, one for play, one for every project. Open multiple notebooks at once, drag and drop between them, and use the Folder Navigator to quickly return to any folder you've ever opened in nvUltra. You can even use nested folders for organization within a notebook.
Your notebooks can include any kind of file. Images, TaskPaper files, OPML documents… whatever you need. All filetypes are indexed by name and can be dragged into text notes as links or images, and some filetypes (such as PDF) are fully indexed for search.
With the Markdown editing capabilities of MultiMarkdown Composer, nvUltra has everything you need to take your Markdown notes to the next level, including a live preview. It also works great with Marked 2!
And while we have our own opinions about what external apps work best, you can open any note (or other file) in any capable external editor. There's even a shortcut key to open a file in the system default for the filetype.
Instantly see how your MultiMarkdown notes will format with a live side-by-side preview. There are multiple built in styles, both light and dark, and you can customize your own with a little CSS.
The editor and preview panes even have synchronized scrolling so they're always where you expect them to be, plus support for MathJax and KaTeX for equations, and Highlight.js for code highlighting.
nvUltra comes with multiple editor and preview themes, and they're completely customizable.
