Notable
Notable is a free, open-source note-taking app for macOS and Windows designed for people who want a lightweight, markdown-based alternative to Evernote or OneNote. It stores notes as plain-text markdown files in a local folder, supports tagging, real-time search, syntax highlighting, and integrates with external editors and git. Notable is primarily used by developers, writers, and knowledge workers who prefer markdown over proprietary formats and want their data to remain portable and version-controllable.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find clear public information confirming whether Notable has a native Apple Silicon build. The app is open-source and maintained on GitHub, but recent release notes and the official download page do not explicitly state native arm64 support. Contact the developer directly or check the GitHub repository releases page to ask whether a native build is available or planned — this is important because Rosetta 2 is being removed in macOS 28 (late 2027), so an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. If Notable does not have native support by then, you will need to migrate to an alternative note-taking app. Some actively maintained native alternatives include Obsidian (markdown-based, encrypted, cross-platform), Bear (proprietary format but native and polished), or Apple Notes (simple, built-in, fully native) — all run natively on Apple Silicon today.
