Using GitHub*, OctoNote harnesses the powerful simplicity of Gists to save your notes to your GitHub profile. This means after you create or edit notes in OctoNote they are viewable anywhere through GitHub, and can be edited through the GitHub browser client as well.
For developers, markdown enables robust syntax highlighting in code blocks, which is fully supported in the OctoNote rendered markdown view.
For everyone, markdown enables beautiful page rendering, making markdown notes like single-page websites unto themselves. Easily share OctoNote notes in the app or by sharing the Gist URL to your note and enjoy the robust GitHub markdown rendering in the browser.
With OctoNote Premium, you can create, edit, and manage secret notes - notes that don't show up as public on GitHub or in search engine results.

Great app!
Annie Hask
As a developer, this app really helps me keep everything I need organized! Super simple and unique design. Would recommend!
Post & edit abilities behind a pay-wall

The simple handy app that developers and note-takers want. BUT, the paid subscription service to use the core features that are normally free everywhere else is a gross idea. Especially when there’s little overhead if all it’s doing is pulling data Github. You can only peek at your Gists, not post or edit.
View’s font size is unacceptable huge
TreyEthan
The iPad interface seems to have been optimized for making the screenshots look good in the App Store thumbnails. I’d recommend you skip this app and look elsewhere. The thumbnail showing rendered Markdown looks nice above, but when I actually tried to use this app, I discovered it meant that a one-line Gist with a long (but not *huge*—about 200 characters) Linux command line couldn’t display the single line on the screen all at once—on a 15″ iPad! The default font size looks like it’s about 64 pt. (I say “default” meaning “the size for plain text”—you can’t modify it in the app’s settings, as far as I can see.) When you go into “Edit” mode, the text is appropriately-sized—but it’s all unformatted. If I just wanted an app that let me edit GitHub Gists, there are plenty of those. I can’t imagine picking a set font size like 64-point for any reason except that it makes the App Store thumbnail look nice—otherwise, the rendered example could look like a wall of text. This wouldn’t be awful if you could modify that size, but pinch-squeezing doesn’t do it and there’s no font size item in settings. Perhaps changing the font size is a paywall feature—if so, I wouldn’t know, as I have just deleted this app.
