What is a CNOTE file

CNOTE files mostly belong to CollaNote. CNOTE files are the native note format for CollaNote, used to store user notes along with metadata and any attachments.
They rely on two internal structures for data storage:

ZIP Archive: Some files pack content in a compressed archive, which allows bundling different elements like images and handwritten strokes.

JSON Format: Other files keep note data in a structured text form, making the note’s content and metadata easy to read.

In some cases, these files are also known as Squidnotes note-taking format.
FilExt.com note: To view these files, use an appropriate archive tool if the file is ZIP based or a text editor for JSON-based files. Additional details and updates can be found on the CollaNote page.
