Everything it does, in one place
The whole feature list, including the small settings people actually change. Everything here is shipped and working in the app today, and where something is off by default, it says so.
The six things that make it different
Files your notes for you — on your device
Save a note and it lands in the right folder, decided by a model running on your own machine. No server, no upload, no prompt.
No account, no cloud, no way for us to read it
There is no sign-up and no server holding your notes. Everything is encrypted on your device, and the only key is a 12-word phrase you keep.
Search by meaning, not just keywords
Type what you remember. Keyword search and semantic search run together, both on your device, so "that trip with the broken car" finds the note that never says "trip".
An AI assistant that works offline
Ask questions, get summaries, find related notes, suggest a title. All of it runs on a local model with your Wi-Fi switched off.
Bring your notes from anywhere
One-tap import from Obsidian, Evernote, Apple Notes, Notion, Bear, Google Keep and plain text — and re-running it updates what changed instead of duplicating.
Deleted means recoverable
Deleted notes go to a real Trash. Restore one, or empty the lot when you are sure.
Writing
The editor, from the basics to the small conveniences.
Markdown as you type
Headings, quotes, bullets, numbered lists and links are parsed and styled as you write.
Formatting toolbar
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, inline code, three heading levels, lists, quote, text colour, highlight, link, note link, table and divider.
Tables
Insert and edit tables, starting from a 2×2 grid.
Checklists
Toggleable to-do rows, and a keyboard command to move a row up or down.
Choose what ticking does
When you check an item: cross it out, sink it to the bottom of the list, or delete it outright. Your call, and it sticks.
Nested lists
Indent and outdent list items and quotes as you write.
Link between notes with [[ ]]
Type two square brackets to open a note-and-folder picker and insert a link.
Slash commands
Type a forward slash to bring up the command menu without leaving the keyboard.
Colour a note
Seven-colour swatch on any note, so a glance down a list tells you what is what.
Voice dictation
Off by defaultSpeak instead of typing, transcribed on your device — the model downloads once, about 41 MB.
Editor focus options
Choose whether a note opens with the cursor at the title or already in the body.
Organising
Folders, stars, and the AI that does the filing.
Nested folders
Folders inside folders, as deep as you like, with a breadcrumb back up.
Colour-coded folders
Eleven tints, so a busy sidebar stays readable.
Pin and favourite anything
Pin notes and folders to the top, or star them into Favorites.
Trash with real recovery
Restore a deleted note, delete one permanently, or empty the trash. There is a separate trash for scratchpad buffers.
Auto-filing as you write
On by defaultThe on-device AI decides which folder a new note belongs in and files it — no interruption.
Auto-organize loose notes
Notes that have piled up unsorted get grouped into suggested folders with suggested names. You approve each one.
Re-filing suggestions
When a note has outgrown its folder, the app suggests a better one. It proposes; you decide.
Drag to arrange
Drag folders to reorder them, or drop one onto another to nest it.
The Scratchpad
A tabbed, encrypted notepad for things that are not notes yet, saving itself three seconds after you stop typing. Convert a buffer into a real note when it earns it.
Home blocks you control
Seven blocks — recent, all notes, scratchpad, favorites, pinned, folders, shortcuts — each reorderable or hideable.
Finding things
Three kinds of search, all running locally.
Keyword search
Full-text search, including word stems and partial-word matching.
Search by meaning
Semantic search over on-device embeddings, so approximate recall still finds the note.
Both at once
Keyword and meaning-based results are fused into a single ranked list.
Filters
Narrow by date range, folder, or pinned-only, and toggle exact matching or meaning-only results.
Find similar notes
Surface the notes closest to the one you are reading.
The AI, in detail
Every AI feature runs on your device by default. You can also opt into your own cloud provider — off unless you turn it on.
Ask your notes questions
A chat panel that answers from your own notes, not from the internet.
Note summaries
On by defaultA short summary per note, refreshed when the note changes. Anything you write yourself is left alone.
Folder summaries
On by defaultWhat is in this folder, in a sentence, updated as its notes change.
Suggested titles
One tap to have a title proposed from the note. It is a button, never automatic — your titles are never renamed for you.
It does things, not just answers
The assistant can create, edit, file and delete notes — essentially anything you can do to a note, under the same permission rules. This is your local model acting on your vault, not a chat window.
Permissions per action
Decide, for each kind of AI action, whether it may act, must ask first, or is blocked outright.
Exclude a note from AI
One note can be hidden from AI on its own — separately from AI overall, and separately again from cloud AI if you have it on.
Exclude a note from sync
Keep one note’s ciphertext off the relay entirely, and purge any copy already there. A single note can stay local while the rest travel.
A log of what the AI did
A recent-actions list on your device, so an automatic change is never invisible.
Bring your own cloud AI
Off by defaultPoint Prevon at Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint with your own key, and choose per feature whether it uses local, cloud, or asks you each time. Off until you enable it.
Advanced limits
Advanced modeRate limiting, a tool-call depth cap and a circuit breaker for the local model — for people who want them.
Privacy and security
Not a mode you switch on. It is how the vault is built.
Encrypted at rest
Every vault is a SQLCipher database. A copy of the file on its own is unreadable.
Argon2id key derivation
A deliberately slow, memory-hard function turns your phrase into the key, so guessing is not cheap.
A 12-word recovery phrase
Shown once when you create your vault, and never stored by us. It is the only copy of your key.
Rotate your key
Re-key the vault to a new recovery phrase whenever you want, without losing your notes.
Air-Gap Mode
Off by defaultOne switch blocks every outbound connection the app can make, including local device transfer.
Unlock with your face, finger or PIN
Off by defaultBiometric unlock, or a short quick-unlock PIN, both sealed in hardware.
Lock when you walk away
Off by defaultLock the app when it goes to the background, and choose what it takes to get back in.
Block screenshots
Off by defaultStop the OS capturing the app window on Windows and Android.
Clipboard that clears itself
Sensitive copied text is wiped after 60 seconds so it cannot linger.
Destroy the vault
A deliberate two-step wipe, for when losing the device is the safer outcome.
No account, no telemetry
No sign-up, no analytics, no tracking. There is nothing to opt out of because nothing was ever collected.
Bringing notes in, moving them out
Your notes are yours to move.
Import from seven sources
Obsidian, Evernote, Apple Notes, Notion, Bear, Google Keep and plain text, with source auto-detection. Point it at a folder or a zip.
Re-import without making a mess
Run the import again after writing more in the old app and it updates what changed instead of duplicating everything.
It tells you what it could not use
The import report names the files it skipped and why, so a messy export is never a silent one.
Move a vault device to device
Transfer a whole encrypted vault to another device over your own local Wi-Fi, by QR or pairing code — no cloud relay in the middle.
Encrypted vault export
Take a portable encrypted snapshot with you, authorised by your recovery phrase.
Restore from your phrase
The 12 words are the backup. Enter them on a new device and your vault is back.
Making it yours
The small settings people actually change. Layout here is genuinely deep; appearance is deliberately simple.
Light and dark
Two themes, dark by default.
Folder and note colours
Eleven folder tints, seven note colours — colour as a personal index.
Customise the home screen
Reorder, hide, add and remove home blocks, and cap how many rows each one shows.
Customise the sidebar
Reorder, show or hide sidebar items, and collapse the header.
Customise the write button
Its shape, size, what a tap does, and how long a hold takes.
Shortcuts row
Choose which four shortcuts sit on your home screen.
Folder-tree detail
Connector lines, indent depth, note icons and how long titles overflow — all tunable.
Sorting
Separate sort orders for folders and notes.
Scroll and section behaviour
Independent scrolling per home section, and per-section visibility.
Compact scratchpad
Collapse the scratchpad down to just its header and tabs.
24-hour clock
For everyone who reads 18:00 faster than 6pm.
Search the settings
A search box inside Settings that finds any row by name — forgiving of typos and half-remembered wording — and jumps straight to it.
Reset any setting
Every single settings row has its own reset-to-default button.
Learn what each setting does
Most rows carry a Learn more link that opens a plain-language explanation of exactly what it changes. A ? in the panel can show every one of them at once.
Customise the bottom bar
Choose which items sit on the home navigation bar, and in what order.
Dividers in the sidebar
Drop a visual divider between sidebar items to break a long list into groups.
Show or hide block titles
Turn the title header off any home block, for a quieter home screen.
Autocorrect, your way
Autocorrect can be turned off entirely, for anyone who types faster than it corrects.
More than one vault
Keep separate vaults and switch between them — a work vault and a personal one, each with its own key.
Advanced mode
Off by defaultReveal the deeper settings when you want them, and keep them out of the way when you do not.
Platforms and access
Where it runs, and how you reach it.
Five platforms
iOS, macOS, Android, Windows and Linux — the same vault, the same encryption.
Keyboard shortcuts
Navigate back, save a note, and dismiss search from the keyboard.
Native desktop window
An in-app title bar and window controls on desktop, so it feels like a desktop app rather than a phone app in a frame.
Local device discovery
Devices find each other on your own network for transfer, without a directory service.
Accessibility
Built in from the start, not bolted on.
Screen-reader labels throughout
Buttons, rows and controls carry spoken labels, including a search field that names TalkBack and VoiceOver directly.
Reduced motion
When your system asks for less animation, the app cuts instead of animating.
Text scaling
Your system text size flows through the editor rather than being overridden.
Comfortable touch targets
A minimum tap-target size enforced across the app.
Colour is never the only signal
Folder colours carry no meaning a screen reader needs, so nothing is communicated by colour alone.
