Chinese Version

LocalNote enables you to use evernote in the local-file way.

Popular markdown format is supported and can be perfectly performed in evernote (the download format will remain as .md instead of .html).

Majority of notes in evernote can also be translated into markdown format easily.

LocalNote is also available on three platforms, which ensure that linux users can also have a good experience with evernote.
