Oaklet Notes vs Rivet

Oaklet Notes brings writing, whiteboards, drawing, and structured knowledge together in a single note — kept in an encrypted vault that stays on your device. Write, sketch with Apple Pencil, build mind maps, and handle tables, math, and diagrams — then link everything into your own knowledge graph. It's truly yours: offline-first, encrypted on your own device, with no account to create. TRULY PRIVATE • AES-256-GCM encryption protects every note • Vault password, plus an optional Note Password for sensitive notes • Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID (Pro) • Auto-lock when you step away • Works fully offline — no account to create, and your notes never pass through our servers MULTI-MODAL — EVERY MODE, ONE NOTE • A block-based rich-text editor • Drawing with native Apple Pencil — pressure-sensitive, low-latency, layers, fill, and SVG export • Whiteboard for mind maps and flowcharts, with one-click auto layouts • Tables with formulas, LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, code blocks, task lists • Decorations — stickers, sticky notes, tape, and stamps, pinned to your text or floating free PRIVATE AI, ON YOUR TERMS • Connect a local AI model on your own network — no API key, no third-party cloud • Or use your own cloud AI provider • Drafting and rewriting, semantic search, auto-tagging, whiteboard generation, and plain-language tool calling • AI is optional — the app connects to your provider rather than hosting one ORGANIZE & CONNECT • [[WikiLinks]] and ![[embeds]] build your knowledge network • Backlinks panel and an interactive knowledge graph • Hierarchical tags and full-text search SYNC & SHARE ACROSS YOUR OWN DEVICES • Direct Share — send a note straight to a nearby iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC. Pair once with a code; transfers are encrypted end to end and go straight from one device to the other • Local Sync (Pro) — turn one of your own computers into the sync hub for all your devices. It only ever holds encrypted files, never your password • Prefer your own WebDAV server? Sync through that instead — or keep everything on this device NO LOCK-IN • Notes on your own disk, not a vendor's database • Import and export Markdown anytime; export to PDF, HTML, and Word • Move notes between devices and vaults as .yzn packages, without losing anything Oaklet Notes is free to use. An optional Pro subscription unlocks advanced features — try it free for 30 days in the app. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and can be managed in Settings.

Use Day, 5-Day, Week view or 30-Day view (on Mac & iPad) depending on how much you want to see. Add something quickly using natural language, search for things later, and keep everything synced through iCloud. ADD SOMETHING IN A SENTENCE Type or say “Lunch with Sam Thursday at 1” or “Move standup to 4.” Rivet picks out the date and time, shows you what it understood, and waits for you to confirm before changing anything. Capture runs on your device by default. YOUR DAY, AS IT HAPPENS Calendar events, to-dos and notes appear in time order alongside activity from Apple Health. So the workout you finished this morning can sit beside the meeting you had afterwards and the thing you need to remember tonight. Not another dashboard. Just the day. KEEP YOUR CALENDAR You don't need to move everything into Rivet. Apple Calendar and Reminders already work with your timeline. Connect Google Calendar with Rivet Pro when you need it. Google Meet links appear where you need them too. TODAY OR THE WHOLE WEEK Stay close to today or zoom out with Day, 5-Day and Week views. Your plans don't change just because your view does. FIND IT AGAIN Search across your to-dos, events, notes, meetings, workouts, listening and viewing. Useful when you remember the thing, but not where you put it. LOOK BACK Rivet can turn your Health, listening and viewing activity into monthly summaries. See what you were doing, watching and listening to without maintaining another journal. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Rivet syncs privately through iCloud. Add something on your iPhone and it's there when you open your Mac or iPad. There's no Rivet account to create. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Rivet contains no ads or analytics SDKs. Capture is processed on your device by default. If you choose online refinement, only the text you submit for that feature is sent for processing.
