Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

I’d like to introduce NoteHub, a note-taking and task management app for Nextcloud that I’ve been building. It’s currently in public beta and I’d love to get feedback from the community.

What makes NoteHub different?

Plain Markdown files – Every note is a simple .md file with YAML frontmatter stored in your Nextcloud. No proprietary database, no vendor lock-in. Open your notes with any text editor, sync them with any tool, or migrate them anytime.

Notes & Tasks united – Any note can become a task with one click. Add due dates, priorities, and reminders. Color-coded indicators show urgency at a glance (:green_circle::yellow_circle::red_circle:).

Address book integration – Link notes and tasks to contacts from your Nextcloud address book. Each contact is identified by UID, so even two “Thomas Schmidt” stay distinct. Click a contact chip to open the address book entry directly.

Tags instead of folders – A note can belong to multiple topics. Much more flexible than rigid folder structures.

Wikilinks & Backlinks – Connect ideas with [[wikilinks]] and discover relationships through automatic backlinks.

Templates – 6 built-in templates (journal, meeting notes, work orders, shopping lists, project notes) with automatic date/time placeholders. Create your own templates too.

Share with Nextcloud users – Share individual notes with read-only or edit permissions. Shared notes appear seamlessly in the recipient’s NoteHub.

Also available: Desktop App

NoteHub Desktop is a portable app (no installation needed) that works directly with the same Markdown files. Combine it with Nextcloud Desktop Client for automatic sync between browser, desktop, and mobile.

Technical Details

  • Requires: Nextcloud 28+, PHP 8.1–8.4
  • Storage: .md files in NoteHub/ folder, YAML frontmatter
  • Database: Index table for fast search (files remain the single source of truth)
  • Compatible with: Obsidian, Joplin, any Markdown editor
  • License: AGPL-3.0
