What is a .NOTE file?
Everything worth knowing about Notability Note files.
A .note file is a note exported from Notability, the note-taking app by Ginger Labs. Only Notability opens it. Import it on an iPad, iPhone, or Mac using File > Import or Open With > Notability. On Windows or Android there is no .note reader; ask the sender to export the note as a PDF instead.

Is my .NOTE file uploaded anywhere?
No. Your .NOTE file is read and converted for you. The first time, a small open-source conversion component is downloaded and then cached.
Why does my older .NOTE file look plain?
Some older word-processor files keep their formatting in a complex binary layout. The viewer shows all the text and tables reliably; richer formatting for those files is coming with server-side conversion.
Are macros in a .NOTE file safe here?
Yes. The viewer never runs macros. It only reads the document text, styles and images, and tells you when a file contains macros.
Can I edit my .NOTE file?
This is a viewer. You can copy the text or save it as HTML/TXT and edit it elsewhere. An online editor is on our roadmap.
It says my .NOTE file is something else. Why?
We check the file's signature, not just its name. If a file was renamed, the viewer tells you what it really is and which tool opens it.
