## What is Justnote?

Your privacy-focused note-taking app. Justnote helps you take notes easily anytime on any device. Powered by Stacks technology, all your saved notes are encrypted, and only you can decrypt them and see the content inside.

Justnote is a simple note-taking app, yet powerful enough. Our WYSIWYG-rich text editor has features like bold, underline, font color, and background color. You can take notes easily and quickly. Justnote is your quick note-taking app for your to-do lists, reminders, shopping lists, memos, thoughts, etc. Justnote is ubiquitous. You can use Justnote on any of your devices. All your notes are synced across your devices automatically.

Powered by Web3 technology from Stacks:
• Your account is cryptographically generated; only you, with your Secret Key, can control it. Your account cannot be locked, banned, or deleted by anyone, as your Secret Key is required to access and modify your account.
• Everything is encrypted; only you, with your Secret Key, can see the content inside. No one can see the content inside your data, so it cannot be used to create targeted ads. If your data is stolen, no information is leaked.
• Your data lives in a data server of your choice; only you, with your Secret Key, can change it. You can manage your data and set permissions directly, as you can host your own data server or choose any data server provider.

### 5/5 — Thank you for this app

*2025-03-23, version 0.30.0*

The best app so far without bloatware

### 2/5 — Dark mode + some other things

*2024-12-03*

When it comes standard on the majority of note-taking apps, locking dark mode behind a paywall is petty and sort of goes against accessibility norms. I’d also like to see a one-time-payment option like UpNote to unlock all app/editor features, even if it requires us to self-host our data, and for JustNote-provided cloud storage to be an a la carte addon. And would like to see a Windows application at some point. I will update my review if these aspects ever end up being addressed, but in the meantime, I do not feel compelled enough to enter into a subscription when there are several other options that offer more base features for less or free.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback. It is valuable. We’ll incorporate it to improve our app. Initially, our concept was to provide free essential features and ask for support on extra features. We’ll focus more on competitiveness. Our goal is to be the best choice among privacy-focused note-taking apps. We must provide adequate features, be reasonably priced, and have privacy in every aspect. 🙏

### 5/5 — Very nice!

*2024-11-12*

Well, this is a great discovery. A really elegant but simple, end-to-end encrypted note-taking app that works! Even better, the iPad app runs seamlessly on my MacBook Pro (running Sequoia 15.0.1). Okay, there are lots of note-taking apps out there (I have most of them!), but the end-to-end encryption and the small footprint are standout features and should be emphasised!

Great stuff, folks! Keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much. 🙏 We appreciate it. We’ll keep improving.

### 4/5 — Great at the basics

*2024-10-13*

Does w/ simplicity & clarity what many note-taking apps make unnecessarily complex. Intuitive UI, real formatting toolbar w/ text & highlight colors, plus E2EE — all free. $5/yr adds reasonable bonus features, like tags & customization. Unfortunately, tags aren't #inline, there's no backlinks or collapsible sections, syncing isn’t instantaneous, & desktop access is webapp only. Also, “new folder” is buried in Settings. But it does the basic better than most & is a great deal for the price.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync

*2024-05-13*

I really wanted to like this app. I love the idea of simple and even the huge password is kind of neat not to rely on an email address. However the syncing is non functional. I can edit on one device, click the checkbox to save it. Then an hour later I open on another device and the changes aren’t there at all. Maybe a day later I will get a message asking me which version I want. The whole point of the app is synching across devices.

**Developer response:** We're sorry for the inconvenience. We guess it has just started syncing after you opened the app. It takes some time. You will see green loading at the top right while it's syncing. If you edit the note after the sync finishes, there should be no conflicted versions. You can also manually sync by choosing the three-dot button at the top right. Please feel free to contact us at support@justnote.cc if you have any questions.

### 1/5 — Nice concept…

*2022-06-23, version 0.9.3*

…Poor execution.
Already deleted but I thought it only fair to explain.
[update: After the response from the developer, please see below at '**']

• Clicking 'Get started' brought up a completely blank, white space. Several times, I tried to open an account but due to this blank screen, I was unable to continue. I even tried tapping it in different places in the hope of getting lucky. But no. Eventually I clicked on the other option to continue unencrypted without an account.
• Having now got into the app, I clicked '+New Note' and tried to paste something I'd written from elsewhere, but to no avail: now nothing in the editing space was responding: I was unable to paste or type into it at all. Although I was able to get a reaction from the left column, the right part of the screen was completely inert; totally unresponsive.

Two serious errors in quick succession does not inspire confidence. I want an app which works promptly and does not require me to wonder at what it is or isn't doing, or why the most fundamental aspects of the app are not co-operating at all.

Unfortunately, I can only rate this app on my experience. Since it flatly refused to work, I'd say it really does not deserve any stars at all. Luckily though, Apple thinks differently.

**Following the developer's comment…
     Thankyou for the prompt response.
     Lest there be confusion, perhaps I should clarify: the app loaded perfectly well. The blank panel appeared upon trying to 'open an account', i.e. from WITHIN the app. The unresponsive, seemingly dead panel I tried to describe above was also within the app.**
