What LuniNote does today
Everything on this page is built and working in the beta. What isn't built yet is listed at the end, so you can decide with the whole picture.
Organize
- Notebooks, grouped in stacks.
- Tags inside tags, as deep as you like.
- Shortcuts to the notes, notebooks, stacks, tags and searches you use most.
- Saved searches.
- A Trash that never empties itself.
- Three panes, with List, Snippet and Card views of your notes.
- About 45 keyboard shortcuts, and a quick switcher to jump to any note or notebook.
Write
- Headings, lists, checklists, quotes and code blocks.
- Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, text color and highlight.
- Tables, with rows and columns you can add and remove.
- Files and pictures dropped or pasted straight into a note.
- Saves as you type, a second after you stop.
- Formatting from imported notes is kept, including fonts, alignment and merged table cells.
Search
Type words, or narrow it down the way you're used to: "a phrase", tag:,notebook:, stack:, intitle:, created:,updated:, todo:, any:, - to leave a word out, and more.
LuniNote also reads the words inside your files, so search finds them there too:
- PDFs, including scanned pages
- Word, Excel and PowerPoint files (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx)
- OpenDocument files (.odt, .ods, .odp)
- Text, CSV, Markdown, HTML, RTF and saved emails (.eml)
- Pictures: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, TIFF and BMP
The result says which file the word is in, and on which page. The reading happens on our own server; no outside service sees your files.
How well it reads scans, measured against Evernote
On 14 October 2026 we gave the same 117 pictures to LuniNote and to Evernote (a Free account) and counted the words each one read correctly. The share of words found:
| Pictures (how many) | LuniNote | Evernote | Evernote, with alternatives |
|---|---|---|---|
| All 107 core pictures | 98.9% | 80.9% | 84.0% |
| Screenshots (10) | 100% | 68.0% | 70.9% |
| Receipts (10) | 98.1% | 93.1% | 97.6% |
| Phone photos of pages (6) | 99.7% | 96.5% | 97.4% |
| Blurred pages (6) | 96.9% | 82.9% | 91.4% |
| Old printed pages in English, real scans (6) | 98.5% | 86.9% | 91.9% |
| German, French and Spanish pages (9) | 99.6–100% | 73.2–83.7% | 77.9–87.2% |
| Handwriting from 1814, real scans (2) | 57.2% | 27.9% | 55.3% |
How we measured, and what it doesn't show
- One run, on one day. Evernote can change its reading at any time. Evernote stores a best guess for each word and some alternatives; the last column counts a word as found if any of them matches, which is the most its search could find.
- 105 of the pictures are pages we generated, with known text and added blur, noise, tilt and poor light; 12 are real old scans from Wikisource. Some groups are small, so read their numbers as rough.
- “Core” leaves out pages turned on their side, the two handwritten pages and two pages in old German blackletter type. Evernote did better on 5 of the 117 pictures.
- Handwriting is hard for both. Don't count on finding handwritten words yet.
- Evernote is quicker: its text was there about 3 seconds after a picture arrived. LuniNote reads files one after another on our server, so a new scan becomes searchable a little later.
- When you move from Evernote, LuniNote keeps the text Evernote read and reads each picture again, and search looks in both.
Offline, sync and history
- Keep writing when the connection drops; your changes wait in the browser and catch up when you're back.
- If the same note changed in two places, you get both copies, and neither is overwritten without you knowing.
- Every change to a note's text, title or tags is kept as a version you can open and restore, with no time limit.
- Without a connection, search covers titles and previews; the text inside files needs the connection.
Capture
- A Web Clipper in the LuniNote extension: Article, Simplified article, Full page, Bookmark, Selection and Screenshot.
- The clipper works in Chrome for now.
Export
- Your whole account as one file, from Settings, at any time.
- As Evernote-format files (.enex), web pages, Markdown, or a complete archive with every tag, shortcut and saved search.
- Optionally with the Trash and every earlier version.
Import from Evernote
Move your whole account with the extension, or import .enex files, and get a report that accounts for every note.
Not yet
What LuniNote doesn't do today:
- Firefox, Safari and phone browsers. The app works in Chrome, Edge and Brave on a computer.
- Phone and desktop apps.
- Sending notes in by email.
- Two-step sign-in and passkeys.
- End-to-end encryption.
- The extension in the Chrome Web Store. For now it's a download, with steps to add it to Chrome.
- Opening the app while your computer is offline. Once it's open, a dropped connection is fine.
- Unlocking text that was encrypted in Evernote. It's kept, but stays locked.
- Older Office files (.doc, .xls, .ppt), iPhone HEIC pictures and files over 200 MB aren't searched inside yet.
And no AI assistant. Pictures are read by a text-recognition model on our own server; your notes are never sent to an AI service.
