About

Notte AI Workspace

Features
Read full description

Notte is a private productivity workspace that brings your notes, tasks, and calendar together in one app — so your thinking stays connected and your mind stays clear. Most tools scatter your work across separate apps. Notte keeps everything in one place, with end-to-end encryption so your data stays yours. — ONE WORKSPACE — • Notes — a rich block editor with headings, lists, checklists, code blocks, tables, and slash commands. Organize with notebooks and tabs. • Tasks — Kanban boards with custom statuses and priorities, drag-and-drop ordering, and aggregated board groups. • Calendar — day, week, and month views with recurring events, reminders, and event notifications. • Contacts — keep the people you work with alongside your notes and events. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — • End-to-end encryption by default. Your notes, tasks, and events are encrypted on your device. We never read them — we can't. • You own your keys. Zero-knowledge sync means the server only ever stores an encrypted blob. • Two-factor authentication to protect your account. • No behavioral tracking, no data mining, no third-party analytics. — BUILT FOR iOS — • Native iOS app with a clean, minimal interface that fits right in. • Light and dark themes that follow your system appearance. • Follows recommended UX patterns. • Sign in with Apple supported. — WORKS EVERYWHERE, EVEN OFFLINE — • Full offline mode. Create and edit anything with no connection — changes sync automatically when you reconnect. • Truly cross-platform: works on majority of modern desktop and mobile devices. • Multi-device sync that just works. — CONNECT YOUR CALENDARS — • Two-way sync with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar. • Create meetings with video links built in. • Recurring events sync in both directions. — BRING YOUR EXISTING NOTES — • Import from Notion, Evernote, and Obsidian — pages, notebooks, and folder structure are preserved. • Export your data anytime. No lock-in. — AI ASSISTANT (limited) — • Chat with an AI assistant that understands your workspace. • Summarize notes, rephrase messy thoughts, and turn ideas into tasks. — NEVER LOSE WORK — • Version history on your notes and tasks. • Recycle bin — deleted items are recoverable. • Data safety is a core principle: nothing is removed unless you explicitly ask. — FAST AND CALM — • A minimal, beautiful interface built to disappear while you work. • Keyboard-first for speed, mouse-friendly for comfort. • Global search across everything you've written. Start now — and never go back to fragmented work again. Terms of Use (EULA): https://notte.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://notte.com/privacy
