However, most powerful note-taking apps lock you into their platform. µPad is open source and free. It uses a simple file format (with an open-source parser) and can export to Markdown-formatted plain text. * µPad has an infinite canvas because note-taking is a very different task to document-writing, and being restricted to a vertical page limits you. We think taking notes is better on a whiteboard than on a lined sheet of paper. μPad provides an infinite canvas for your ideas, letting you structure your thoughts as you please. * μSync is built right into μPad providing a complete and seamless experience. μSync will keep your notes in sync across all of your devices quickly and securely with AES-256 encryption. * µPad has Evernote import. If you export your notes to the enex format, they can instantly be uploaded and imported into µPad. You can also select a bunch of *markdown* files to import and μPad will seamlessly turn them into a notebook allowing you to take those notes to the next level. * µPad uses Markdown. Markdown is a way to format text without having to lift your hands off of the keyboard. This standard is built right into μPad with helpful additions like: mathematics, todo lists, and tables. * Each Markdown element has a font size that can be edited along with global zoom settings that can be found by pressing "alt" ### Package name * micropad --- ### License * MPL-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 13 August 2025 - latest/stable * 13 August 2025 - latest/candidate --- ### Websites * [getmicropad.com](https://getmicropad.com "https://getmicropad.com") --- ### Contact * [nick@nick.geek.nz](mailto:nick@nick.geek.nz "mailto:nick@nick.geek.nz") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/micropad/pop#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Pop!\_OS and install MicroPad Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
