Zutext
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Capture the thought before it slips away. ⢠One tap: the first line becomes the subject, the rest the message. ⢠Works offline: no signal?

Or switch history off. ⢠In your language: NotePoof speaks 45 languages. PRIVATE BY DESIGN NotePoof has no account and no database.
