What it does
NoteX stores notes as files and combines a block editor with diagrams, math, databases, workspaces, real-time collaboration, comments, and Notion import. The full Windows desktop editor is free for local files, and the web workspace is free to start. Team collaboration and self-hosted enterprise services are available through sales conversations rather than published prices.
NoteX is aimed at users who want a structured editor without giving up local files. Notes can use blocks, diagrams, and databases, while web workspaces add shared editing and comments; Notion import provides a migration path. The desktop app is free to use locally, with team and enterprise plans offered by inquiry. Windows and web are available; the product page lists macOS as in development, so it is not a cross-platform desktop release yet.
