FAQs

Why should I write my notes in Markdown?

Markdown offers a widely supported plain text format that is easy to transfer to other applications, easy to read in raw form, and ensures consistent formatting across all notes.
What are the benefits of using Git to store notes?

Using Git for note storage provides free synchronization across devices, unlimited version history, enhanced merge conflict resolution, easy self-hosting, ability to share notebooks, and the option to publish content as websites or blogs.
When and how often does data synchronization occur for Git/GitHub/iCloud Drive notebooks?

Synchronization is triggered on application startup and every minute thereafter. Changes such as creating, updating, or moving notes will also immediately initiate sync.
Can I connect only specific GitHub repositories instead of the whole account?

Yes, by selecting the generic Git notebook provider and using a fine-grained personal access token, access can be limited to specific repositories.
Why should I pay for the native NotesHub application if I can use the web version for free?

The native application offers platform-specific features like iCloud Drive support, improved system integration, and no limitations on the size of Git or GitHub notebooks compared to the web version.
