Your notes are yours alone
TaskNote encrypts every note on your device before it leaves. Even we can't read your notes.
Perfect for personal journals, sensitive research, or anything you'd rather keep private.
Never miss a deadline
Set a reminder on any task and get notified before the due date. Works whether you're on your phone, tablet, or laptop.
No separate calendar app needed — reminders live right next to your notes.
Everything you need is free
The free plan is not a trial. Unlimited notes, encryption, cross-device sync, tasks, and reminders are all included at no cost.
Pro adds extra customization and themes — but you'll never hit a wall on core features.
Works on every device you already own
No app to install. Open a browser, sign in, and your notes are there: on your phone in class, on your laptop at home, on a shared computer at the library.
