Features

Everything you need, in one place

Built for thinkers, planners, and creators who want more than just a text editor.

Rich Text Editor

Full WYSIWYG editing with tables, code blocks, callouts, shapes, and freeform drawing on the page.

Mind Maps

Visual brainstorming with draggable nodes, custom connectors, and infinite canvas.

Kanban Boards

Drag-and-drop columns and cards with folder organization for projects and tasks.

Drawing Canvas

Infinite canvas with pressure-sensitive brushes, layers, rulers, guides, and measurement tools.

Calendar & Events

Month, week, and day views with recurring events, reminders, and alarms.

Node Clusters

Force-directed node graph showing connections between all your items.

Encrypted Vault

Everything you write is encrypted on your device before it reaches us. For a second lock, put a note in the vault: it is sealed again with XSalsa20-Poly1305 under its own Argon2id-derived key.

Themes & Customization

Full theme editor, Google Fonts, dark mode, density settings, and saveable presets.

Voice Dictation

Speak and watch your words appear in real-time. Speech-to-text powered by the Web Speech API.

Focus Timer

Built-in stopwatch, countdown, and Pomodoro timer with client/project tracking profiles.

Calculator & Conversions

Full calculator with unit conversions, construction fractions, and persistent history.

Highlights

Designed for depth

Every detail crafted for serious creators.

Rich Editor

A real editor, not a toy

Find & Replace, Focus Mode, Reading Mode, Typewriter Mode, Table of Contents, Zoom — every feature a serious writer needs, right in the menu bar.

WYSIWYG Tables Code Blocks Callouts Shape Overlays
Security

Encrypted before it leaves your device

Everything you write is encrypted in your browser with XChaCha20-Poly1305, under a key made from your password with Argon2id, before it is sent, so we hold only ciphertext and cannot read it. The vault adds a second lock to the notes you choose, with its own key, and opening it needs a 2FA code.
