Encrypted on your device, with your key alone
Every note is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it syncs. Our servers hold ciphertext and nothing else. No member of staff, no court order and no breach can turn that back into text without your key, and your key never leaves your device.
- AES-256-GCM on every note
- The key is created on your device and never sent
- We cannot read your content, by design
- No analytics of any kind run on what you write
Research and case notes, found in seconds
Write about a case, a statute or a precedent, and find it again with full text search. The editor gives you headings, lists and emphasis, the same structure you would use in a brief.
- Full text search across every note
- A proper editor with headings and lists
- Checklists for what still needs doing
- Saves as you write, so nothing is lost
Deadlines, with a reminder attached
Put a reminder on any note or task. The notification arrives on the computer or the phone when a filing or a follow up is due. The board gives the matters you are tracking somewhere visible to sit.

Questions from lawyers
Is it suitable for confidential legal notes?
It is built for personal notes: research, case summaries, reference material you would otherwise keep in a private notebook. It is not a matter management system and not an approved record keeper. For genuinely privileged material, your firm's own policy decides.
How private are the notes?
They are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before they sync. We cannot read them. Without your key, neither a member of staff, nor a government request, nor a breach turns them back into text.
Is any of it shared with third parties?
No. Nothing is sold or passed on. The notes are encrypted and unreadable to us, and no analytics run over their contents.
Can I use it on a work computer without asking IT?
Technically yes, since it runs in any browser with nothing to install and no administrator rights. Whether you should is a question for your firm's acceptable use policy.
Is it free for personal use?
The core is: notes, the board, reminders and encryption, with no card details asked for.
Does it work without a connection?
Yes. Notes live on your device, so reading and writing need no network. Changes go up when you reconnect.
