About

Vault Notes

Features
Read full description

Vault Notes is a private notes app built on plain Markdown. Your notes are real .md files stored locally, (and with Pro, in your own Google Drive), not rows in a database we control. We run no servers and never see what you write. WRITE WITHOUT FRICTION Live Markdown editing. Headings, bold, and checklists render as you type. Daily notes are one tap away, so journaling and quick capture stay fast. Banners, callouts, code blocks, footnotes, highlights, and LaTeX math. Paste a link and get a clean preview card. Rename the title to whatever you want. Attach images, PDFs, and GIFs. Read PDFs a page at a time. YOURS, ORGANIZED Folders and subfolders, pinned notes, instant search. Connect notes with [[wikilinks]], or embed one note inside another. Chain notes like chapters with Previous / Next follow-ups. Canvas boards when you need to think spatially. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Public View hides your private notes and images, either on a schedule or with one tap. Hand your phone to someone and don't worry about it. Mark any note or folder Private. Blur the images you'd rather not show. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing phones home. MAKE IT YOURS Features are plugins, so toggle math, callouts, timelines, and image styling as you like. Accent colors that follow you across devices. Apple Pencil sketch notes on iPad. VAULT PRO (optional subscription) Two-way sync between iPhone, iPad, and desktop, all through your own Google Drive. Version history and attachment sync included. Your notes move through your cloud. We never host or read them. Vault Notes is built by one person who uses it every day, and it shows. Download it, write something in it, see if it fits.

Your clipboard, right inside your keyboard. Copy something on your Mac or any other computer — then paste it straight from the Syncer keyboard on your iPhone. No app-switching. No emailing links to yourself. Your clipboard simply follows you to every device. WHY SYNCER • Paste from your keyboard — the Syncer keyboard puts your synced clipboard inside any text field on your phone. Tap to insert; no jumping between apps. • One clipboard, every device — your iPhone, iPad, Mac and the other computers you use all share a single clipboard. • Encrypted end-to-end — every clip is sealed on your device before it leaves, and only your devices hold the keys. Our servers relay data they have no key to open. • Searchable history — find anything you've copied. Keep it from 1 to 30 days (7 by default); it auto-expires after that. • Passwords stay put — Syncer automatically skips items your device marks as sensitive, so passwords and secrets don't sync. • Encrypted backups — protect your history with a PIN and restore it on a new device. We only ever hold ciphertext. • Passwordless sign-in — a one-time email code, or Google / Apple. No password to remember. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Syncer on your devices. 2. Pair them in seconds by scanning a QR code. 3. Copy on one device, paste on any other — from the keyboard on your phone. MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO COPY A LOT Developers moving code and commands between a laptop and phone. Writers and students moving links, quotes, and notes. Anyone tired of shuttling text between devices by hand. YOUR PRIVACY We can't read your clipboard — the encryption makes it impossible. We don't sell data, show ads, or build a profile of what you copy. Analytics are strictly opt-in. Syncer — one clipboard, every device.
