Your notes are yours alone

Every note is encrypted on your device before it leaves. We cannot read them either.

That suits a personal journal, sensitive research, or anything you would rather keep to yourself.

Encrypted private notes for students

Never miss a deadline

Put a reminder on any task and hear about it before the date. It reaches you on the phone, the tablet or the laptop.

No separate calendar app, because the reminders sit next to the notes.
