Lognote keeps writing lightweight. Formatting comes from a few text patterns rather than a rich-text toolbar.

Bold text and bullet lists

Surround words with one asterisk on each side, for example *Important*, to display them in bold.
Start a line with a hyphen and a space, for example - Pack charger, to display it as a bullet.
Use line breaks to separate paragraphs or list items.

The asterisks and hyphen remain part of the stored plain text. Lognote renders their meaning when displaying the note.

Enter a full web address such as https://lognoteapp.com, or a recognized domain name.
Save the note.
Select the underlined link in the displayed note to open it in your default browser.

Only open links you trust. Lognote hands the address to the system browser and does not verify the destination.
