## What is Dash Notes?

Dash is a private, offline-first note-taking app built for people who want to think without being watched.

No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. Notes live on your device. If you choose to sync between your own devices, every byte is end-to-end encrypted before it leaves your phone — the relay server cannot read your notes.

FEATURES
• Rich, block-based editor — headings, lists, checklists, code, tables, quotes, dividers, embeds, alignment, drag-and-drop reordering, multi-block selection.
• Folders, tags, full-text search, version history.
• Image attachments stored locally inside the app.
• Per-page passphrase encryption (AES-GCM-256, PBKDF2 key stretching) and app-level lock with Face ID / Touch ID.
• Optional end-to-end encrypted multi-device sync — pair with a QR code, decrypt on-device, server only sees ciphertext.
• Self-destructing notes that wipe themselves after a set time or N views.
• Markdown / DOCX / PDF / CSV export, encrypted backup files (.dashpack).
• 30-day Trash for soft-deleted notes.
• Four themes: Light, Dark, DarkBlue, Fallout (terminal green).
• Works fully offline. Syncs automatically when you reconnect.
• Free. No subscription. No upsell. No ads.

PRIVACY
Dash is built for people who treat notes as the most sensitive thing on their device. The app collects no analytics, contacts no third-party SDKs, and makes no network calls except to the optional sync relay (only when you turn it on, only with encrypted blobs). The relay sees opaque ciphertext addressed by random vault IDs — it cannot read or attribute your notes to you.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Writers, researchers, and journalists who want a clean editor without the cloud baggage.
• Anyone storing sensitive ideas, journal entries, passwords, or work-in-progress drafts.
• People migrating off ad-supported note apps that monetize what you write.

FROM THE TEAM
This is version 1.5.0. Built by Filmshape Ltd. Source code is open and auditable. Feedback welcome.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.6.11 — 2026-09-12

Pinned notes, templates, importing from other apps, and PDFs in every language.

• Pin the notes you use most to a Pinned section at the top of your notes list, from Page actions or a note's menu. Pins sync to your other devices.
• Start a new note from a template when you name it: Meeting notes, Daily journal, To-do list, Project plan or Weekly review. Save any note as your own template, with the date, time and title filled in for you.
• Import notes from Evernote, Notion, Obsidian, Notesnook, Standard Notes or a folder of Markdown files. You see what will come across before anything is saved, and each import can be undone.
• Nested lists: indent bullet, numbered and checklist items from the block menu. Lists you paste keep their levels.
• Photos are stored once on your phone instead of inside the note, so notes with photos stay small enough to sync.
• PDF exports keep Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek and Cyrillic text and emoji, along with nested lists, callouts, toggles and photos.
• See which notes link to the one you're reading, add callout and toggle blocks, and use Markdown shortcuts as you type.
• A note that self-destructs while it's open now turns into binary and crumbles away.
• Dash Sync: large notes and attachments now sync, and a full sync space pauses with a clear message instead of dropping notes.
• Fixes: notes in Trash no longer show inside their folders, and text typed straight after Enter in a list no longer lands in the item above.

### 1.6.4 — 2026-09-10

A redesigned notes screen and a clearer editor.

• Notes open on a full-width screen, with folders and notes in their own sections and a New note button within thumb reach.
• Swipe a note left to move it to Trash, or right to lock it.
• Appearance and settings now sit together in the footer. Pick a theme from visible swatches, or let Dash follow your iOS light and dark setting.
• Tables use light horizontal rules with a tinted heading row, and heading sizes are tighter so structure reads at a glance.
• Code blocks and inline code are styled properly in every theme. The Terminal theme has been rebuilt on a phosphor-green palette and uses your system monospace font.
• Fixes for table headers sticking correctly while scrolling, and assorted layout tidying throughout.

### 1.5.6 — 2026-09-07

Sync fixes.

• Sync now works on iPhones and networks that block the sync server's original address. Dash tries three addresses and keeps the one that answers. Nothing to configure.
• Clearer sign-in and pairing screens: your email is only used to check for a subscription; notes never travel by email.
• If you subscribed on your iPhone, your Mac no longer asks you to pay again.
• Fixed a sign-in loop and a "replayed request" error that could pause sync.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-07-24

No release notes.
