Rebel

Regardless of whether it is thoughts, new information, a phone number or anything else, we routinely need to take down notes. This is why having a reliable app for this purpose is important. Rebel is a lightweight utility designed for anyone who needs to take notes and organize them at the same time.

Following a quick installation, you are welcomed by a neat interface that is quite clean and can be considered distraction free. The GUI features a dark mode, which may come in handy if you are working or taking notes during the night.

At the same time, the app includes a Welcome page that explains the syntax on how to add formatting to your notes. In case it is not very clear, simply click on any element in the Welcome page to find out how to add formatting to your own notes.

Speaking of formatting, the application supports several sizes along with bold, italic and underline. It permits you to add pictures, providing that you add a direct link to the website it is stored. Other noteworthy options that you may find useful include codes, quotes, tables and lists. Overall, the app supports the basic markdown syntax, so if you are familiar with this code, you will have little problems getting around.

The program does not include options, as it is designed to be as simple and hence, little distracting as possible. According to the developer, the notes are saved in the home directory, so they are stored locally. You can simply zip the directory where the app is installed to create a backup.

Rebel is a user-friendly utility that allows you to note down all information that is relevant to you, from lists for shopping and ideas to images and links that you need for your projects.
