Instead of juggling multiple apps or losing track of ideas, you have one simple workspace for your notes, reminders, calendar, and AI—all working together. CLARITY INSTEAD OF OVERWHELM With Notice, everything lives in one place, so you always know where to find your ideas, plans, and tasks.

FROM IDEA TO ACTION Turn an idea into a note, a reminder, or a calendar event in seconds. Break big goals into manageable steps, plan your schedule, and keep everything in sync. Instead of switching between different apps, Notice helps you move seamlessly from thinking to doing. THE REINVENTED NOTICE BAR At the heart of Notice is the redesigned Notice Bar—the fastest way to capture anything. Whether you’re writing a quick note, creating a reminder, scheduling an event, or asking Notice Agent for help, everything starts from one intelligent input. No menus to search through, no unnecessary taps—just type what you need and keep moving. LESS TIME ORGANIZING, MORE TIME DOING Smart organization works quietly in the background so you don’t have to.

THINK FASTER WITH NOTICE AGENT Notice Agent is your intelligent workspace assistant. Turn documents, PDFs, images, and long notes into clear summaries and actionable insights. Ask questions about your notes, brainstorm ideas, rewrite content, expand rough drafts, or simplify complex information—all without leaving your workspace. Notice Agent helps you think faster, stay organized, and get more done. YOUR CALENDAR, REIMAGINED See your schedule alongside your notes and reminders in one seamless experience. Plan your day, organize upcoming events, and stay ahead without bouncing between separate calendar and productivity apps. Everything you need is always within reach. FOCUS YOU CAN FEEL Notice keeps your attention on your work—not the interface. Notes, reminders, calendar, and AI work together naturally, helping you stay in flow throughout your day. Because everything is organized, searchable, and always with you, you spend less time managing your system and more time making progress. RESULT: MORE DONE WITH LESS EFFORT Every minute you spend in Notice is designed to move you closer to your goals.

About

Dash Notes

Features
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.
