Zutext vs RelayJuice

Zutext is a Markdown note-taking app that keeps your notes safe: local-first storage, end-to-end encrypted sync once you set a passphrase, and attachments kept in your own cloud. Write in an editor that switches between formatted editing and Markdown source. What gets saved is always plain Markdown. Tables, task lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting, math and Mermaid diagrams are built in. Organize with folders, tags, to-dos and reminders, split the window to edit two notes side by side, and search notes, folders and files at once. • Flexible editing: move between formatted, source and split-window modes and edit however you like. • Local first: all local features work offline, and your notes live in an encrypted local database. • End-to-end encryption: set a passphrase and only devices that have it can read your synced notes. The server stores ciphertext only. • Your cloud: attachments and backups are stored in your own Google Drive or iCloud. • No lock-in: export to .md, .txt, .html and .pdf at any time. • Your settings: customizable keyboard shortcuts, light and dark themes, and your window and open notes restored at launch. Signing in is optional. Every local feature works without an account. Manual sync and backup are free.

For that moment when you find something on your iPhone but want to deal with it on your Mac. Just tap "Relay" in the share sheet. Seconds later, it appears in the Inbox on your Mac. Not ready for it now? Send it to tonight or the weekend, and it resurfaces when the time comes. Weeks later, even if you've forgotten the title, a vague search brings it right back. ◆ How people use it - Send a GitHub repo from your iPhone to your desk - Send a restaurant from your Mac to your pocket - Capture a passing thought by voice, for your future self at the desk - Save an article you can't read now, for tonight - Recall something you saw months ago from a half-remembered phrase ◆ One verb to remember No folders. No tags. No filing. Tap Relay and you're done — the app organizes invisibly, in the background. ◆ Search that forgives forgetting Hybrid full-text and semantic search. Automatic tags bridge Japanese and English, and results show you exactly why they matched. Note: advanced bilingual auto-tagging requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device (iPhone 15 Pro or later, M1 or later Mac/iPad). Other devices get basic tags; search and text recognition work on every device. ◆ Done is not Forget Items you finish leave your Inbox but stay in Memory, searchable forever. Only Forget deletes. Inbox Zero without anxiety. ◆ On the Mac, the app disappears It lives in your menu bar. A global shortcut (customizable) opens a Spotlight-like panel over any app — your memory, one keystroke away. ◆ Anything goes in X posts arrive with their full text. Screenshots get OCR'd so you can search what was written in them. Voice notes are transcribed automatically. ◆ Privacy - Your data syncs only through your own iCloud (no account needed) - Tagging and search indexing run entirely on-device - No ads, no tracking ◆ Pricing Your first 30 items are free.
