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.

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.
