Everything lives on your device - not on a server - so it opens instantly, works anywhere, and your data stays yours. Find anything in an instant: search looks across notes, documents, databases, rows and fields - and it ignores accents, so "cafe" finds "cafรฉ". Turn any list into a database with typed fields, add tappable URL links, then switch to a drag-and-drop Kanban board with colored columns. Write in the redesigned calm editor with headings, checklists and code. No account required.
