Private by design

Your notes are yours. Nobody else reads them.

  • An encrypted Vault

    Lock any note. It's encrypted on your phone and opens only with your passcode.

  • Out of sight

    Locked notes show only in the Vault: never on Home, in search, in notifications or in the widget.

  • No account needed

    Notes live on your phone. Sign in only if you want online backup.

  • End-to-end encrypted backups

    Encrypted with a passphrase only you know. Not even we can read them.

  • No ads

    Your notes are never sold or shared.

  • Leave any time

    Export your notes, or delete your account and its backups from the app.

Capture

What's on your mind?

Start a note, a checklist or a scan from one sheet. JNotes saves as you type.

  • Scan turns a photo of a page into text, right on your phone
  • Text shared from other apps opens as a new note
  • A home-screen widget and app shortcuts start a note in one tap

Checklists

Tick it off, move on.

Ticked items slide out of the way, and you can drag to reorder. Turn any note into a checklist and back.

  • Progress at a glance on Home
  • Pin the lists you need most

Reminders

A nudge at the right time.

This evening, tomorrow morning, next week, or any time you pick.

  • Scheduled on your phone, no account needed
  • A locked note's reminder never shows its text

Some notes are just for you.

Locked notes are encrypted and kept only on this phone. They stay inside the Vault, and it locks again a minute after you leave.
