Description

Quiver is a notebook built for programmers. It lets you easily mix text, code, Markdown and LaTeX within one note, edit code with an awesome code editor, live preview Markdown and LaTeX, and find any note instantly via the full-text search.

# Mix Text, Code, Markdown and LaTeX

A note in Quiver is comprised of cells --- snippets of text, code, Markdown, LaTeX (via MathJax) or diagrams (sequence diagram, flowchart). You can freely mix different cell types within one note. You can set different languages for different code cells, too.

# An Awesome Code Editor

The programmer's notebook should make code editing effortless. Quiver packs the awesome ACE code editor in code cells, with syntax highlighting support for more than 120 languages, over 20 themes, automatic indent and outdent, and much more.

# Markdown Support

Quiver lets you write in Markdown with inline formatting and custom CSS options. A live preview window renders Markdown as you type.

# LaTeX Support

Quiver uses MathJax to typeset mathematical equations written in LaTeX. Please note that MathJax doesn't provide a full LaTeX environment. Only math-mode macros are supported.

# Images, Files and Links

Drag an image into a text cell and it will be saved locally with the note. Drag a file into a text cell and it will become a clickable file link. URLs in text cells are automatically detected.

# Instant Full-Text Search

Notes are only useful if you can find them quickly. Quiver's full-text search is based on Search Kit, the same technology used to power Spotlight on your mac. That's how Quiver can search through thousands of notes in a blink of an eye.

# Beautiful, Fully Customizable Themes

Quiver comes with several beautifully designed UI themes, and they are fully customizable.

# Live Preview

Quiver supports live preview of Markdown and LaTeX cells.

# Presentation Mode

Quiver provides a full-screen presentation mode for your notes. This is great for classroom use, team meetings, presentations, as well as reviewing notes on your own.

# Tags

Quiver has tagging support. You can assign multiple tags to a note or assign a tag to multiple notes at once. Combined with notebooks and linked notes, you have many different ways to organize your notes.

# Autosave

Quiver automatically saves all your changes as you work, so you never need to worry about losing changes.

# Plain JSON Data Format

Quiver saves all your data in plain JSON files. These data files reside on your local machine. You can easily export your notes in different format such as HTML and PDF.

# Cloud Syncing

Quiver lets you sync all your notes across multiple computers via Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or any other file-based cloud services.

# Team Collaboration

It’s easy to collaborate in Quiver. You can create a shared notebook so everyone on your team can view or edit notes in the notebook. This is a great way to build a shared knowledge base for the team.

# Version Control

Since Quiver stores all the data in plain JSON files, it’s easy to put the whole library (or a specific notebook) under version control. This is another way to collaborate with your team.

# Backup and Recovery

Quiver lets you back up your entire library with a single click. Restoring your library from a backup is just as easy.

# Integrations

Quiver doesn’t lock you in. It stores data in a well-documented plain JSON format. So it’s easy to write scripts to integrate Quiver notes with other tools you use. Common scripts are provided on the Quiver documentation site.

# Tutorials and Documentation

Quiver comes with in-app tutorials and a comprehensive online wiki. Anyone can contribute to the wiki and make it better.

Pretty good, could use a couple more things IMO to be perfect

A couple things that seem like they should definitely be available in here, but don't seem to be

1) Resize Image (I have to live with whatever shape I drop the image into the note, even if it takes up way too much space.)
2) Ability to 'select all' in a note (Currently it's a benefit that it defaults to limiting my CMD A to just the cell, but I'd like another more powerful Select All. It would make it easier when I want to transfer over a note's contents to another note for whatever reason)

Game changer for me, I use it daily

Quiver desktop has changed how I take notes and I love it. It’s easy to use and has great features. The help section is also good which is a must for me. The different cell types are great, I really like being able to take notes in Markdown because it makes transferring notes to GitHub or exporting as a clean PDF that much easier. I love how many languages there are to choose from. I really like the keyboard shortcuts because they help my workflow and they feel logical. Being able to store my notes in Google Drive and sync across devices is awesome and makes me feel better that my notes are stored in the cloud (which I trust more than my aging laptop). I would definitely recommend this app. I’ve used this app in student, recreational, and professional contexts and it’s great for them all. I currently work in IT support and I use this app every day to keep track of notes and things I need for my work. Highly recommend this app.

Really Great

I’ve been using Quiver (for MacOS) daily for years. It’s just the perfect markdown-friendly notetaking environment. It’s simple, functional, and not stuffed with unneeded features. I keep journal entries in it, but also lists, logs, recipes--anything and everything. I drag images and other attachments into my notes (tip: use a text cell to hold dragged attachments) and they’re stored with the notes. I keep the Quiver data in Dropbox so I can use any of my macs to work with the same Quiver data, and the data is saved in text JSON files so if I ever need to move to something else (which I dearly hope I will not) I won't be trapped. You can make feature requests or report bugs via Quiver’s Github site and it’s not a black hole; the developer will get back to you. Software releases occur occasionally but it’s quite a mature product and is very stable, so, in my opinion, not much more is needed. Highly recommended!
