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
