What's this

Quentier is a cross-platform desktop note taking app capable of working as Evernote client. You can also use Quentier for local notes without any connection to Evernote and synchronization.

Quentier is free software distributed under the terms of GPL v.3.

At the moment Quentier is in public alpha state and is not yet intended for production usage. Currently it's targeted at software enthusiasts, developers and people who like tinkering with fresh stuff.

Quentier is written in C++ using Qt framework and is built on top of libquentier library.

Read the project's blog and wiki for more details.

Stable versions correspond to builds from master branch, unstable versions correspond to builds from development branch. New stuff first appears in unstable versions but for this reason they are also prone to temporary breakages.

For users of Ubuntu and derivatives there's a PPA repository from where it is easy to install Quentier:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:d1vanov/quentier-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install quentier-qt5

Alternatively, if you run Qt4-based desktop environment (KDE 4), you might want to install Qt4-based Quentier instead:

sudo apt-get install quentier-qt4

This PPA is for stable Quentier builds from master branch. Alternatively, the PPA for unstable version of Quentier is the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:d1vanov/quentier-development
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install quentier-qt5

or

sudo apt-get install quentier-qt4
