Type and handwrite in one note.
Encrypted on your device. No account.
An offline-first notebook with whiteboards, drawings, tables, and equations, all in the same note.
Free download · No sign-up · Windows / macOS / Linux / Android / iOS
One note, every kind of content
Type a paragraph, write in the margin with your pen, sketch a diagram, and add a table or an equation, all in the same note. Whiteboards, Mermaid diagrams, and decorations live there too, with Apple Pencil's native engine on iPad.
Search what you wrote by hand
Search finds the words you wrote by hand, on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, and Android.
Private, with no account
Every note is encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your device, and our servers never hold a copy. Add a Note Password for extra-sensitive notes. Sync runs through your own WebDAV server, a folder you choose, or a computer you already own.
Every platform, your AI
Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, and Android, with the same vault on all of them, and Markdown in and out anytime. Bring your own AI, local or cloud: it drafts text, builds whiteboards, searches by meaning, and works in your vault through tool calling, the local Agent API, and MCP.
Beautiful Writing Experience
Header styles from Minimal to Magazine, Newspaper, and Academic, with cover images and drop caps. One-click page presets such as Writing, Editorial, Nocturne, and Blueprint set the paper, header, and font together.
Handwrite Over Any Page
Turn on Handwrite and ink right over your typed text and margins — annotate, circle, and sketch on the page without leaving the editor or opening a separate drawing block. Pen, pencil, marker, and highlighter, with optional Apple Pencil support on iPad. Your ink stays anchored as text reflows and travels into PDF, Word, and HTML exports.
Your Handwriting, as Text
Handwriting is recognized on your device, so search finds the words you wrote by hand. Convert a selection, a drawing, or the handwriting on a page into typed text, and fix any misread words in a preview before anything is inserted.
Side by Side, or Free as Cards
Sections lay out part of a note in two or three columns, or place blocks freely as cards connected with lines. Give cards colors, borders, and shapes. On narrow screens a section shows an overview you can zoom into, and it is still part of the note, so search and export work as usual.
Decorate Anywhere
Stickers, sticky notes, tape, and stamps — pin to a paragraph or float freely on any note. Drag, scale, rotate, recolor. Encrypted, synced, and rendered in PDF, HTML, and Word exports.
Whiteboard for Visual Thinking
Mind maps, flowcharts, and diagrams on a zoomable, pannable surface — open right inside any note. Auto layouts (Tree, Layered, Force) clean up a messy board in one click.
Sketch with Native Apple Pencil
Pressure-sensitive, low-latency strokes on iPad. Pencil, marker, and highlighter brushes. Multi-layer composition, fill tool, text boxes, and SVG export — Drawing is a full sketchbook inside your notes.
Send Notes Straight to Another Device
Direct Share moves notes device to device over your own network. Pair once with a 6-digit code and the two devices recognize each other from then on. Transfers are encrypted end to end and never pass through a server — no account, no upload, nothing left on someone else's machine.
Your Own Computer as the Sync Hub
Leave one computer running and let it serve your vault to your other devices over the network — no cloud account, no third-party server. The hub stores only encrypted files; your vault password never leaves your own devices. Prefer a server you already have? WebDAV and local-folder sync still work, and you can save several destinations and switch between them.
Knowledge Graph
[[WikiLinks]] + ![[Embeds]] build your note network. Tags form a web rather than a tree — one tag can belong to several others, with memberships AI can suggest for you. An interactive graph visualizes how your ideas connect. Switch between Network, Rings, and Sphere layouts, and see suggested links between notes you haven't linked yet.
Advanced Tables
Formulas (SUM/AVG/COUNT), merged cells, drag-fill, and inline images — data analysis without leaving your notes.
Diagrams & Math
Mermaid diagrams (flowchart, sequence, Gantt, and more) with auto-theming. LaTeX math with a rich symbol panel, inline and block mode, live preview.
