They execute them.
Yes. The core app is free. The Pro license (one-time, 14.90€) unlocks AI, code execution, meeting transcription, and themes.
Znote runs code directly in your notes. No plugins, no cloud, no subscription. Write a script, hit run, see the output inline.
No. You can bring your own key (OpenAI, Claude, Ollama…) or use Znote's built-in AI. Both work out of the box with the Pro license.
