About Notesnook
Notesnook is a free (as in speech) & open source note taking app
focused on user privacy & ease of use. To ensure zero knowledge
principles, Notesnook encrypts everything on your device using
XChaCha20-Poly1305 & Argon2.
Notesnook is our proof that privacy does not (always) have to come at the
cost of convenience. Our goal is to provide users peace of mind & 100%
confidence that their notes are safe and secure. Our decision to go fully
open source is one of the most crucial steps towards that.
Notesnook is a user focused note taking tool meant to offer a fully
end-to-end encrypted note taking experience for everyone. This includes
the majority of our less tech savy users who just want to take notes
without all the hassle.
In short, Notesnook aims to offer a complete replacement for other
insecure note taking tools like Evernote & Notion. Because let's be
honest, these tools offer great productivity but at a great cost to your
privacy.
