Notes and writing
Notes hold years of your work, so an update that changes how things are stored deserves a second look. Local-first apps keep files on your disk; others sync through the publisher’s cloud. These 11 notes, knowledge-base and Markdown apps list older versions, so you can pin the release you know.

What you’ll find here
This page covers note-taking, knowledge-base and Markdown writing apps for Windows and macOS, including outliners, linked-notes tools and plain Markdown editors. Each app has its own page with versions, installers, checksums and release notes where the publisher provides them.
The 11 apps listed here are Anytype, AppFlowy, Joplin, Logseq, MarkText, Notion, Obsidian, Standard Notes, Typora, Xournal++, and Zettlr. All 11 run on Windows, and 9 also on macOS. Of these, 7 are open source. Between them the site lists 465 versions. Older versions are mostly available for Windows; for macOS the current release is usually the one listed. Everyversion hosts no installers: every download button goes to the download location named in the publisher’s package data, normally the publisher’s own server. For all 11 we downloaded the installers ourselves and re-computed their SHA-256.
