iOS, Web Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Web
  • End-to-end encrypted notes
  • Backlinks for a graph of connected notes
  • End-to-end encrypted on device with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2, so the service holds no readable data
  • The full client codebase is published, which makes the privacy claim auditable
  • Paid after the trial
  • AI features send text to OpenAI models
  • An account is required; it is a sync service, not a local-only app
  • Encryption means no server-side search, and losing your password loses the notes
