More private than Apple Notes
Apple Notes only encrypts the notes you lock one by one. Here every note is encrypted automatically, with a key we never hold, so neither Apple nor we can read it. It also reaches Android and Windows, which Apple Notes does not.
- Every note encrypted, without turning anything on
- Works on Android, Windows and Mac as well
- Nothing tied to iCloud
- Reminders included, no second app needed
Notes and a board, in the same place on the phone
Write about a project, then switch to the board and drag it through to do, doing and done. There is no second app to keep in step, and all of it stays on one private workspace.
- The whole board on the phone, on the free plan
- A proper editor next to it
- Reminders that notify you
- Everything available with no connection
Syncs to Android and Windows too
Apple Notes stays inside Apple. This does not. One workspace across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Windows and any browser, without your notes deciding what you buy next.
- iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Windows
- Changes appear on the other devices as you go
- No Apple ID required
- One account covers all of them
On an Android phone instead? There is a page for the Android note-taking app
Questions about iPhone
Is it free on iPhone?
The core is: notes, the board, reminders and end to end encryption, with no card details asked for.
Do I need to download anything from the App Store?
No. It runs in Safari or Chrome. Adding it to the home screen from Safari gives you an icon and a window of its own, with nothing installed.
How is it different from Apple Notes?
Every note is encrypted here, not only the ones you lock by hand. There is a board, reminders are included, and it syncs to Android and Windows rather than staying inside Apple.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Notes live on the phone, so you can read and write with no connection. Changes go up when you are back online.
Are my notes encrypted?
Yes, on the phone itself, before anything syncs. The key never leaves your device, so we cannot read the contents.
Can I sync with Windows or Android?
Yes. One account covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android and any browser. That is the part Apple Notes cannot do.
