Snug

Snug is a warm, private room for your mind. A place to write what you'd never say out loud โ thoughts, worries, plans, the raw first draft of an idea. No one reads this. Not even us. Snug is local-first: your notes live on your device, offline by default. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to turn on Sync โ and when you do, everything is end-to-end encrypted, so only you can ever read it. WHY SNUG โข Local-first & offline โ your notes stay on your device and are always there, even with no connection. โข End-to-end encrypted sync (optional) โ turn it on to keep your notes safe across your devices. They're encrypted before they ever leave your phone; we can never read them. โข A calm place to write โ a beautiful, distraction-free editor with Markdown, rich text, images, and voice notes. โข Lock it down โ protect Snug with a PIN or Face ID. โข Warm by design โ soft, cozy, and quiet. Built for thinking, not for an audience. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Most apps want your data. Snug wants you to forget it's even connected. Your words are yours โ kept on your device, encrypted if they ever travel, never sold, never mined, never read. Write freely. It's just you here. snugthink.com
