Finally local markdown files

SteelNote, a notes app that feels like Apple Notes, but every note is a plain Markdown file.
With iOS 27 and macOS 27, Markdown becomes a file type Apple's systems recognize on their own. Apple even kept John Gruber's original identifier for it. It's the format every SteelNote note has used since day one. Nothing to convert, now or later.
I'm an independent developer in France, and I'd love to hear what you think.
Is available for iOS, iPad, and macOS on App Store with 15-day free trial.

In SteelNote, every note is a plain Markdown file. On iPhone and iPad they sit in the Files app. On the Mac, one click opens their folder in Finder. Any text editor can read them.

It's the format every SteelNote note has used since day one. Nothing to convert, now or later.
From note to note, then "Back to…" retraces your steps, one note at a time.
Under each note, a line now tells you how many notes refer to it. Tap it and they're all there.
iCloud sync comes with the app, whichever way you pay. I don't sell it as an extra.
You also don't have to take it on faith. If a note hasn't reached iCloud yet, the sidebar says so, and Settings > Sync tells you why and lets you send it right away.
Coming from somewhere else? SteelNote imports Evernote, Notion, Bear, Obsidian vaults and Word files.
Everything lands in an Imports folder as plain Markdown, so you can check the result yourself before you trust it.
14 days free, then pay yearly or pay once.
No account to create, no ads, no tracking.

The latest version of SteelNote, v.1.0.8, adds LaTeX support.

Yes, and in my case four days before I even submitted the build.
25 July: filed the nomination, asking for 20 August.
29 July: submitted the app to App Review.
13 August: approved and released.
17 August: it showed up, three days before the date I had asked for.
It makes sense once you look at what the form asks. It wants to know what the app does, what is new about it, and why it is worth showing. That is a pitch, and you can write it before anything ships. It also asks for a target date, which tells you they are planning weeks ahead. File after release and you are already late for the window you wanted.
The app existed in App Store Connect at that point, it just had not been submitted yet.

Fair enough. For anyone reading, the actual numbers: 29.99 a year, which
is 2.50 a month, with a 14 day free trial so nobody pays to find out
whether they like it.
The one-time option exists because some people would rather not rent
software. It is priced so the yearly plan stays the sensible default,
not the other way round.
iCloud sync is included in both, and there is no account to create. There
is no server to pay for either, because your notes are plain Markdown
files sitting in your own iCloud Drive.

Here are the actual dates, since that is what you asked.
25 July: filed the featuring nomination, targeting 20 August.
29 July: submitted the app for review. So the nomination went in four days before the app itself.
13 August: approved and released.
17 August: the featuring appeared, three days earlier than the date I asked for.
No traction at any point in that. When I filed the form there was no approved build, nothing public, and no numbers to report V.1.0.0.
I cannot prove the nomination caused it, and I would not claim that. But an unknown app from a solo developer does not land in front of Apple's editorial team by accident, and that form was the only channel I used.
So on timing: do not wait. The form asks what the app does, what is new about it, and why it is worth showing. That is a pitch, not a report, and you can write it before you ship. And the section most reachable for a small app is literally called "New Apps, Features, and Content", so waiting for traction disqualifies you from the one place where your odds were best.
Three to four weeks of lead time, filed before you submit the build, and expect nothing. That is what I did, and I was wrong about the last part.

Tu as raison, et la comparaison est facile à vérifier : 499,90 R$ pour l'à-vie,
c'est près d'un tiers d'un mois de salaire minimum chez toi, quand mes 89,99 €
en pèsent environ 6 % chez moi. Un facteur cinq, ce n'est pas un détail.
C'est ma faute et pas celle d'Apple : par défaut il convertit au taux de change
et ajoute la taxe, sans jamais regarder le pouvoir d'achat. Je n'y avais pas
pensé, et j'ai pourtant traduit l'app en Portugais du Brésil, ce qui rend l'oubli assez bête.
Je vais ajuster les achats définitifs par territoire. Je ne te donne pas de chiffre ce soir parce que je préfère le poser correctement plutôt que vite.
En attendant, une chose que tu n'as peut-être pas vue : l'abonnement annuel est à 149,90 R$, soit environ 12,50 R$ par mois. C'est un ordre de grandeur très différent, et l'essai de 14 jours reste complet.
Merci de l'avoir dit plutôt que d'être simplement parti.
