Powerful note-taking app
Yana is an intuitive notebook application that is easy to get started with and free to use. It allows users to organize thoughts by tagging, searching, and structuring notes in tree views, and supports rich text notes as well as code snippets in an editor powered by Visual Studio Code. The app can manage tens of thousands of notes efficiently, ensuring the notebook never becomes a bottleneck.
