Notesnook

Open source. End-to-end encyrpted. Private. Write notes with freedom, no spying, no tracking.

Notesnook is a note-taking app that takes privacy seriously—like, really seriously. Everything is end-to-end encrypted before it even leaves your device, so your thoughts stay yours. It's open-source, which means you can verify that claim yourself, and there's zero tracking or ads. Just you and your notes.

The interface is clean and straightforward, so you can focus on writing instead of fighting with the app. You get rich text editing, markdown support, and everything syncs across your devices seamlessly. Plus, you can import notes from other apps like Obsidian if you're making the switch, which is pretty handy.

What's cool is that you can even self-host Notesnook if you want complete control, or use their hosted version and still have full confidence that your data is encrypted. Whether you're jotting down quick ideas or maintaining detailed journals, Notesnook gives you a safe space to write without worrying about who's reading over your shoulder. It's basically Evernote but without the privacy concerns.
