Copy once. Paste anywhere. Never text or email yourself a link again. You find the perfect article on your phone, but you want to read it on your laptop. You spot an address on your desktop, and you'll need it in your phone's map in two minutes. Instead of an improvised workaround each time, PasteLog gives you one log that's built for this and always works the same way. Whatever you save once is available on all your devices, one tap to copy, and still waiting next time. Everything else in the app makes sure the messy cases are just as easy - the app is optimized to eliminate the pain of cross-device data transfer. No signal? Your synced log is already on the device, and it catches up when you're back online. Already in another app? The iOS Share Sheet saves straight from Safari, Photos, Files, Notes, Messages, or any app. Not just text? Save pictures and documents to the same log, grouping related files into a single entry and adding tags and descriptions just like you would for text. Log getting long? Tag items and filter by tag for convenient access (e.g. all airline loyalty numbers, or all favorite restaurant addresses). Add descriptions to remind yourself what the item is (e.g. the name of the airline whose loyalty number is saved for copy+pasting, or the name of a restaurant whose address is saved). Something private? Turn on end-to-end encryption and your text, descriptions and tags are encrypted on your device before they sync, so the server only stores ciphertext and we can't read your log. A 12-word recovery phrase unlocks it on your other devices. On a laptop? The same log opens in any browser at pastelog.app. PasteLog never reads your clipboard, either. Nothing lands in your log unless you put it there. Text, descriptions, tags, and end-to-end encryption are completely free, along with a starter allowance for file storage. Optional upgrades are available if you need gigabytes of extra space or support for large files. The app has no ads, even in the free tier. A free account is required, since your log syncs through the cloud.

A minimalist cross-platform Markdown note-taking app designed to streamline your workflow and sync seamlessly across your devices, no server required. Stay organised, stay focused and keep your notes private. FEATURES • Local Sync. Paired devices automatically synchronise notes via your local network, no server or account is required. If a conflict occurs, both versions are kept and the older file is moved to the trash with a [conflicted] label. • Plain Markdown files. Each note is saved as a standard Markdown .md file in regular folders. Your data belongs entirely to you, meaning you can back it up, use other editors, or track it with Git. • Raw Markdown styling. Beautiful raw Markdown rendering of headings, bold text, italic text, lists, horizontal lines, quotes, code and code blocks, links, and tables. • Sidebar. Easily organise your notes. You can drag and drop folders, select multiple files at once, and rename items. Deleted notes can be recovered until the trash is manually emptied. • Command Palette & Search. Navigate the app instantly using a central command palette. Run full-text searches across your open note or across all of them. • Customisation & Settings. Choose from four beautiful themes and start customising your experience. All your configurations are saved in a settings.toml file, making them easy to back up and export. • Intuitive Touch Gestures. Navigate fluidly on mobile devices. Swipe from the left to open the sidebar, from the right to access the command palette, press and hold to open context menus and tap with three fingers in the editor for a context-menu.
