#### A powerful note-taking app that helps you organise + take notes without restrictions.

µPad (MicroPad) is an open digital note taking app.

Taking notes is a fundamentally important task, especially for students. 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"
