TaskNote against Notion: questions people ask

What comes up most often when weighing the two.

Is TaskNote better than Notion for privacy?+

Yes. TaskNote encrypts every note on your device before it reaches the internet. Notion encrypts on its own servers, which means Notion staff can technically reach your data. If privacy is the deciding factor, TaskNote is the better choice.

Can TaskNote replace Notion?+

For personal notes, tasks and reminders, yes. For large team wikis or relational databases shared across a company, Notion may still be the right tool for that particular job.

Is TaskNote free compared with Notion?+

There is a free plan with no card details and a seven day trial of the paid features. Notion's free plan limits page history and block count.

Does TaskNote have a kanban board like Notion?+

Yes, a board built in for personal work. It is simpler than Notion's board databases, and everything on it is encrypted on your device.

Can I import my Notion notes?+

Yes. Export the Notion workspace as Markdown and import the files. Notion writes standard .md files, which TaskNote reads directly.
