Notes

Folders, markdown, tabs and full-text search. The durable knowledge base.

Sticky notes

Colours, checklists, pins and tags. For what needs writing down right now.

Everything is stored in a SQLite database on your device, so the app works offline and needs no account. If you want your notes on more than one device, sign in to a Noteless server and turn on sync per vault. Data is encrypted on the device before it leaves, so the server stores only ciphertext.
