Apple Notes...if you use a Mac, solves this problem. The desktop application doesn't generate URLs from my curl commands using APIs with hyperlinks and email addresses in them. You can also just use a simple dropdown to change to a monospaced font to mix up CLI commands and text. You can paste images too. I tried a few different ones and none did the following, except Apple Notes: monospaced font quick to set don't automatically generate hyperlinks paste images inline doesn't retain formatting pasted from other sources, eg webpages, word document, no silly special formatting like Jira uses Steve Jobs used to talk about how his company originally made products that they, themselves, would use...classic example right here. I bet this came from an internal frustration with note taking software. Apple notes is also incredibly fast...something Evernote never has been on either desktop or mobile app versions. It's just gotten too complex. This hyperlink thing has driven me nuts for years. The web version of Apple Notes accessed through iCloud does automatically generate hyperlinks, but that might be the browser, not the web application. Enjoy.

Please post up if you find one.

No kidding...that isn't a lot of votes. Maybe there is another note taking software that engineers are using for things that look like URLs.

I would love it if we could disable this "feature". I tried some other note taking software and they all do it...someone earlier posted cases where the URL in the text isn't a real URL. I'm an engineer too and taking notes for REST API calls - all these go to localhost, eg I paste in examples of a curl command to run a REST API call and evernote picks them up as clickable links and it DRIVES ME ABSOLUTELY NUTS - I have to go through each one and right click - remove hyperlink, or I keep clicking on them by accident opening a browser. It does the same thing with email addresses making them into mailto: links. For example, I'm pasting in notes like: curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="405t3qij045UU3Ylq575Ug2950rqM4ek941YfabM18b520Yra"' -H 'X-Contribution-ID: JVdcblOhMT3ysFAz' --data-binary @/root/software/testScripts/samples/1to1smode/eicar2.body http://localhost:9000/request/v1/rcs/mo/send Even the compose window in this site is doing it.... It might seem like the solution here is to make a note into plain text, but that isn't the solution either - I want to be able to color code stuff etc. While I'm on about it, having an option to paste as plain text would be useful. How many of us are using notepad or TextEdit to paste our text into, then copying that back to paste into some other application just so all the formatting isn't changed along with the source.
