LaaNo: Link as a Note
Have you ever come across a crucial piece of information online—something worth saving in a few key sentences—only to struggle to find it later? While there are countless ways to store links and notes, retrieving them can often feel harder than just searching the web all over again.
LaaNo is an open-source application designed to solve this exact problem. It lets you save links and associate them with your own notes, offering smooth navigation and quick search within your stored content. All data is stored directly on your device, making everything accessible even when you’re offline. For those who use multiple devices, LaaNo supports synchronization through Nextcloud—an open-source, self-hosted file sync platform—keeping your links and notes consistent across platforms.
