Start creating documents with styles, attachments, tables and checklists, or drop any kind of document into Notebooks. File them in as many nested books as you need to structure your projects and details. Add task lists or simple checklists, divide large projects into nested sub projects, which makes them easier to handle, cross-reference into your reference library – which may be any book or document in Notebooks – and Notebooks for Mac may soon become the central repository for everything you want to keep close at hand.
Notebooks for Mac provides all the tools you need to concentrate on your work and be productive – on your Mac. Formatted documents, plain text and Markdown, the fullscreen modes, dark mode, multiple tabbed windows, breadcrumbing navigation, smart books, word count or the option to compile multiple fragments into a single document or eBook are just a few examples.
Of course you can synchronize the contents of Notebooks between your iPad, iPhone and your Mac, so you can seamlessly work on your documents on any device.

FAQ – Notebooks for Mac 2
If you use Notebooks on an iPad or iPhone and synchronize its contents to Dropbox, it is easy to pick up and work on the same documents with Notebooks for Mac.
- If you have not already done so, download and install the Dropbox client for Mac, a free download from the Dropbox website. This app automatically and continuously synchronizes the contents of your Dropbox (and with it the documents you sync from Notebooks on an iPad or iPhone) with a folder on your Mac.
- Select the Dropbox folder you use for synchronization from your iPad or iPhone as home folder for Notebooks on your Mac. By default, this folder is Dropbox/Notebooks, located in your user home.
With this setup, Notebooks for Mac displays the books and documents from your Dropbox sync folder and saves all changes and modifications to that folder. The Dropbox client on your Mac then syncs these documents to Dropbox, from where they find their way into Notebooks on your iPad or iPhone. - Currently, this is the most convenient and seamless connection between Notebooks on your iOS device and your Mac.
One of the benefits of Dropbox compared to other services is its history of changes, reaching back at least 30 days. If something ever should go wrong, there is always an easy way to restore the original documents.

The versions of Notebooks available from the Mac App Store and from our website are mostly identical, but due to the Mac App Store requirements there are a few minor differences. Apps sold through the Mac App Store need to adhere to macOS Sandboxing. This mechanism ensures that applications only access documents and folders that the user has explicitly selected. This selection is made when choosing a Notebooks Home.
Symbolic Links
The Mac App Store version Notebooks is not allowed to follow and resolve symbolic links if the link's target is outside of Notebooks' home folder or resides on a different partition. Folders seem empty and Notebooks displays their titles in a lighter color.
If you rely on hard links in Notebooks, we would recommend to download and use the versions available directly from our website.
Webarchives created in Notebooks don't open in Safari
Mac Documents Folder
Another side effect of Sandboxing: certain files created by applications are quarantined by macOS. When you double click to open them in Finder, macOS displays a warning and refuses to open them. – In the case of Notebooks, webarchives may be affected (they are created when you copy some formatted text and then choose New from Pasteboard).
To open these webarchives from Finder, right click on them, choose Open with > Safari, choose Open and enter your password. This removes the quarantine flag from the file, and from now on you can open it as usual.
If you are not afraid of using Terminal, you can use the following command which does not require your password:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <path/to/the/file>
Notebooks for Mac 2 provides a combined full text search and document filter in the footer of the document list (the second column).
- Filter the Current List
- As you start entering text in that field, Notebooks filters the currently displayed list and displays only the documents containing the given word or phrase in their title. This is handy when you look for a specific document in a long list: enter a few characters that are contained in its title to quickly turn up that document.
- The filter is available in regular books, but also in most of the smart books (even recent items and recently modified.) It operates on the list of currently displayed documents, so it does not look at the contents of nested books.
- To clear the filter and return to the regular list, just clear the text field.
- Full Text Search
- If you type return after entering the text, Notebooks starts a full text search. The scope of the search is by default limited to the current book (and the hierarchy below), but a checkbox right next to the search field allows you to change the scope to all books (that checkbox shows up as soon as Notebooks displays search results.)
- The search results appear as a list of documents, similar to the contents of a regular book. Notebooks does not display any preview for the search results, but displays the documents' paths instead.
- To clear the list of search results just clear the search field.
When you launch Notebooks you can influence some of its settings and behavior by pressing specific modifier keys:
- Holding down the cmd key keeps Notebooks from opening the last viewed document (the document that was last viewed before closing Notebooks).
- When you hold the alt key, Notebooks ignores the currently selected Notebooks Home folder and allows you to select a different folder.
If you receive a coupon code for Notebooks for Mac 2.0, you can redeem it when purchasing a license directly from us. You can get a license either from within the trial version of Notebooks 2.0 or through our web form. The process is identical in both cases.
On the screen which asks you to select the payment method, click Add Coupon and enter the code. The total sum then reflects the applied discount.
