It is available for Linux, macOS and Windows, and the file format is described as still unstable.
Saber is a cross-platform notes app built for handwriting. Notes are encrypted and stored so the server cannot read them, and can be synced across phones, tablets, and computers. The highlighter renders underneath the text without overlapping itself, notes can be organized into nested folders, and dark mode darkens the notes as well as the interface. The software is free and open source.

Labelbuddy is a desktop application for text labelling, tagging spans of text with different labels. According to its documentation page, it is an open-source, lightweight application supporting sequence labelling with predefined labels or free-form annotations. It can be installed on Linux, Windows or MacOS, and data can be imported and exported using JSON, JSONLines or plain text formats.
STARC (Story Architect) is a screenwriting app for Mac, Windows and iPhone that formats scripts and supports planning tools, including a virtual card board and mind maps.
