Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
UpNote is a note-taking application for organizing ideas, documents, and personal information across web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and Chrome. It suits individuals who want structured notes with rich-text and Markdown editing, notebooks, hashtags, nested notebooks, internal links, attachments, and offline reading and writing. Sharing is available through web links, while passcode or account-password protection supports more private collections.
Pricing is straightforward. The Free plan supports up to 50 notes, syncing across devices, and basic organization, formatting, filtering, and linking. Premium Monthly costs $1.99 per month and adds unlimited notes, attachments, tables, code blocks, note and notebook locking, exports to text, PDF, HTML, and Markdown, plus Premium syncing across devices. Premium Lifetime costs $39.99 as a one-time payment and includes a permanent Premium license, unlimited notes, Premium features, and future updates. Prices may vary by region and applicable sales taxes.
The product’s breadth is its main strength for personal note management: automatic local backups, version history, Quick Access, web-link sharing, backlinks, and support for images, links, quotes, and code blocks cover both everyday notes and more structured reference material. It also offers a practical platform range, with offline access across desktop and mobile apps. However, the free plan’s 50-note ceiling makes it less suitable for a large archive, and the product does not provide real-time collaboration. Each note has a 1 MB character-document limit, while file uploads are under 20 MB. Choose UpNote for affordable, organized personal notes across devices; choose an alternative when live teamwork is essential.
