Oaklet Notes vs Papyrus

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.

Is your current note app slow? Meet a truly lightweight note app. - It's free — with no stingy limit on the number of notes. - Trimmed of every bit of bloat, yet complete with the features you actually need. - Open as many notes as you like with no slowdown, and PDFs load blazingly fast. - Import and edit notes from another popular note app. - Import by the folder — the hierarchy is preserved. [GoodNotes Import] Import .goodnotes files. Strokes, images, shapes, and masks are reproduced almost perfectly. [Handwriting] A custom vector drawing engine delivers extremely lightweight, high-precision ink. Five tools are built in: Pen, Highlighter, Eraser, Lasso, and Mask. Anything selected with the Lasso can be copied, moved, deleted, or duplicated. Mask is a study aid — cover what you want to memorize with the pen, then tap to peek underneath. Straight-line snapping and shape recognition (rectangles, circles, lines, and more) are also supported. [PDF Import & Annotation] Import a PDF and write directly on its pages. Switch between four page layouts: continuous scroll, single page, horizontal, and two-page spread. [File Organization] Organize your notes with a Finder-like file browser, creating folders freely. Switch between list and grid views, and move files and folders by drag and drop. A Trash lets you restore notes you deleted by mistake. [Tabs & Split View (iPad)] Open multiple notes at once in tabs. On iPad, split the screen to view and edit two notes side by side (Split View). [Page Sidebar] Swipe in from the left edge to reveal page thumbnails. Press and hold a thumbnail to reorder pages, and select multiple pages to delete, copy, and paste. [Images] Paste images from Photos, Files, or the clipboard. [Export] Export notes and PDFs as a "PDF for submission/printing," a "fast annotation PDF" (PDF annotations only), or a "Papyrus Archive" (.papyrus). [Apple Pencil] - iPad: draw with Apple Pencil only; pan and zoom with your finger. - iPhone: draw with your finger while the compact ink palette is open; otherwise pan and zoom. - With Apple Pencil Pro, use the squeeze gesture to bring up the hover palette.
