Share a note as a tear-off .knote (drag it into Teams or Outlook) or a whole database as .kndb. Opens and exports .txt, .md, .ht...

What's new in 1.0.1

Added - Color-coded tags (Outlook-style): tag any note with one or more colored labels via right-click > Tags.

Colors travel inside shared .knote/.kndb files. - Per-note spell check: the abc button on the format bar toggles spell checking for the open note (off by default, remembered per note, lights in the accent while on).
