Visit Leanote

Leanote is a cloud-based note-taking and knowledge management platform designed to help individuals and teams capture, organize, and share information. It addresses the need for a unified workspace where users can write notes, collaborate in real time, and publish content as a blog, all while maintaining control over their data through open-source self-hosting options.

The platform includes a Markdown editor with live preview, code highlighting for multiple programming languages, and support for mathematical formulas and mind maps. It offers real-time collaboration with team workspaces, a note tree structure for organization, and detailed version history with one-click recovery. Leanote also provides desktop, iOS, Android, and WeChat apps, and supports Docker-based private cloud deployment. Integration with blogging allows users to publish notes directly using customizable themes.

Leanote is suited for individual users, students, and teams who need a flexible note-taking and collaboration tool. It offers a free plan with limited features, including 128 MB monthly traffic and basic Markdown support. Paid personal plans are available on a monthly or annual subscription basis, with tiered features such as increased storage, more history versions, and custom domain support. For organizations, Leanote provides team and enterprise editions with seat-based pricing for cloud-hosted or self-hosted deployments.
