The program has support for markdown, and includes a to-do list manager that works on FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS and Windows. It can optionally work together with the notes application of ownCloud or Nextcloud.
== Features == QOwnNotes saves each note created by the user as a separate text document. These documents can be tagged, sorted, or searched <ref>{{Cite web |title=Searching for notes |url=https://www.qownnotes.org/getting-started/searching.html |access-date=2023-10-27 |website=QOwnNotes |language=en-US}}</ref> for using the app. QOwnNotes allows for the exporting of notes as a PDF, HTML document, or as a markdown file. QOwnNotes allows users to encrypt or decrypt notes using AES-256<ref>{{Cite web |title=Overview |url=https://www.qownnotes.org/getting-started/overview.html |access-date=2023-10-27 |website=QOwnNotes |language=en-US}}</ref> by default, but also allows for custom encryption.
The interface of QOwnNotes can be customized; the user can move and hide different menus.
