With rich text editing, end-to-end encryption, and full offline support, your notes stay secure and accessible on all your devices.

RICH TEXT EDITOR

Write notes with headings, bullet lists, numbered lists, checklists, text formatting (bold, italic, underline), text color, and background highlights. Create beautiful, organized notes that go beyond plain text.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY

- Lock individual notes with a PIN — content is encrypted before saving

- End-to-end encryption (E2EE) for cloud sync — your data is encrypted on your device before leaving

- Zero-knowledge architecture — the server never sees your plaintext notes or attachments

CHECKLISTS AND TASKS

Create interactive checklists and to-do lists inside your notes. Track your progress with visual completion indicators. Perfect for shopping lists, project tasks, and daily routines.

SKETCHES AND DRAWINGS

Draw freehand sketches, annotate images, and add hand-drawn illustrations to your notes. Use different pen sizes, colors, and eraser tools. Import photos to draw over them.

VOICE NOTES AND TRANSCRIPTION

Record audio notes with automatic speech-to-text transcription. Your spoken words are converted to text and added directly to your notes for easy searching.

IMAGE ATTACHMENTS

Attach photos from your camera or gallery. View images in full-screen with zoom and pan. All image attachments are encrypted before syncing.

REMINDERS AND ALARMS
