Getting started
Sign up, create your first note, paste content, and import from other apps.
Creating an account
Sign up with your email and password, or use GitHub or Google for one-click sign-in. Once logged in, you're taken straight to your workspace where you can start creating notes right away. If you sign up with an OAuth provider (GitHub or Google), no password is stored on our end.
Your first note
Click the + button in the document list toolbar to create a new note. Start typing — the first line automatically becomes the note's title (displayed as an H1 heading). Press Enter to move to the content area and continue writing. New notes are placed at the top of your document list and saved automatically.
Auto-save
Everything you type is automatically saved to local storage, and then to the server. There is no manual save button and no need to remember to save. If your connection is lost, changes are preserved locally and synced once the connection is restored.
Pasting content
Paste text in plain text, rich text, or Markdown format directly into the editor. Snownotes converts pasted content to rich formatting on the fly — headings, lists, bold, italic, links, and code blocks are all preserved. This makes it easy to grab content from other apps, web pages, and services.
Importing notes
Batch-import notes from apps like Obsidian, Notion, Bear, and Upnote. Snownotes accepts .md, .txt, and .text files up to 5 MB each, and you can select multiple files at once. Open Settings → Account → Import to get started. Each imported file becomes a new note in your document list.
