About

Dash Notes

Read full description

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.
