Supernotes
Every note is a card, and cards were built to be shared.
By Supernotes · since 2019 · supernotes.app
B+ · out of 10
Supernotes breaks notes into cards that nest inside each other and can be shared with another person in one click, with comments and reactions attached. It is fast, it looks good, and it has backlinks and a graph. The card format is a real constraint if you write long pieces.

What it does well
- Sharing a single note with someone is trivial
- Keyboard-driven and genuinely quick
- Nested cards plus backlinks give structure without folders
- Runs everywhere, including Linux
Where it falls short
- Cards discourage long-form writing
- Free tier card limit arrives sooner than you expect
- No offline-first storage or local files
- Attachment handling is basic
Our take
The nicest collaborative note app that is not a full workspace. The card format is the whole personality.
Best for: Small teams and couples who share notes constantly.
