Bitsii Notebook

Bitsii Notebook is an interesting open-source application developed to allow users to synchronize notes between their mobile and desktop devices free of charge.

The first thing users need to know about Bitsii Notebook is the fact that it relies on the installation of Bitsii Bridge.

Bitsii Bridge is a web protocol that allows users to run web apps and make them available on both local networks and the Internet. The protocol is written in Brace and uses the Brace Application Infrastructure to complete its task.

The whole service is comprised out of two main parts: the online version that runs on the OpenJDK and Jetty, and the desktop version that uses DotNetCore and Kestral. The GUI for the desktop app (which is actually web-based, meaning it uses a browser to display information), is built using Framework7.

To install get started, users are required to download the Windows installer of Bitsii Notebook, as well as the Android or iOS versions of the app.

Even though this app can be remarkably useful in various conditions, installing it and setting up the synchronization process requires a bit of patience and somewhat advanced computer skills.

Thankfully, all the required information can be found on the app's GitLab repository. Here, users can find everything from how to set up the bridge between the apps, as well as how to ensure proper synchronization via various demo videos (for both mobile and desktop version).
