Opening up the program to start with, it was similar to nValt, but perhaps not quite as simple as I might like it.
#Nvalt replacement free
Free and open source, which was a good sign, I downloaded it in the hope if would be the text editor I was looking for. So during my browsing on Alternativeto, I managed to come across QOwnNotes that seemed to promise the nValt experience I was after. There’s also nvPy which is a Python implementation of nValt, but again this syncs with Simplenote and I really don’t need this feature, I just want the files saved locally where I want to save them. There’s Resophnotes for example, however, this syncs using Simplenote and doesn’t save files locally as Markdown files (but that’s perhaps me being picky). I’ve occasionally tried to find different editors that will do the job of nValt. Overall, I’ve been able to write blog posts as and when I’ve needed to and I’ve been able to use it fairly successfully, but it’s never been as straight forward and easy to use as nValt, which is a shame. Basically this recommends a few plugins, such as Advanced New File (and a few other search ones, but I’ve basically not installed these on my recent version and I’ve noticed no difference). I’ve installed a few Sublime plugins to try and help replicate nValt slightly, using the article I found here. In general, this has worked reasonably well.
#Nvalt replacement windows
On Windows and Linux, this has usually been by using Sublime Text or Atom 1. However, jsut for notes and short notes (or even longer items), I continued to use plain text. Since then however, I’ve discovered Zim Wiki and I use that for storing my data that where I may need images, as at the end of the day, it saves data as a text file still, so I’ll be able to access it at a later date wherever. It worked well and I preferred it to Evernote. I used that (rather than Notational Velocity) for a number of years for storing notes and stored everything in it from blog posts, to research notes and paper reviews. « HoudahSpot 5.One of the few programs I really miss from macOS is nValt.

We have some good ideas, but nothing that’s struck us both as “that’s it!” Have any suggestions? Feel free to brainstorm in the comments! You’re not limited to tags (though you can search by and sync with macOS tags within the app), and you can sort your notes into subfolders as well. It allows you to create folders anywhere, maybe one on Dropbox or iCloud Drive that’s shared, one on an encrypted disk that’s private, one for work, one for home, one for every writing project. But then you can open another folder, or create a new one and start editing. You pick a folder, it indexes it, and you can use it just like nvALT. The biggest difference is that it works with multiple folders and sub-folders. It has blazing fast and accurate full-text search, the ability to find related notes based on content, and very complete Markdown editing tools (complete with syntax highlighting and theme editing). This app works a lot like nvALT (and Notational Velocity, naturally). Sign up today for notifications, and the first round of beta testers will be taken from the email list. But it’s close, and our goal is to start a beta test round in the next month or two. We need to wrap up some UI/UX work before we release the first round of betas, so I’m not ready to put an official ETA on it. Now we have an app nearing beta stage that’s better than any modal notes app you’ve used. He was working on a similar project and invited me to join him on it. You know, the guy who created MultiMarkdown, and who develops my favorite Markdown editor, MultiMarkdown Composer.
#Nvalt replacement code
Turned out David was MIA (hopefully ok), and the code I was left with no longer compiled on the latest operating systems. Now that my health is back to working state, I attempted to pick the project back up. Well, I failed at my part, then we lost touch, and it never came to fruition.
You’ve been hearing from me for years about BitWriter, the nvALT replacement I was working on with David Halter.
