Privacy-Focused Note Taking

January 28, 2024

Privacy-Focused Note Taking

Minimalist Notes was built with privacy as a core principle. Here's how we protect your data:

Local-First Storage

All your notes are stored in your browser's IndexedDB, following a local-first design where your data lives on your device rather than on a company's servers. This means:

- Your notes never leave your device unless you choose to sync
- No account required - just open and start writing
- No tracking, analytics, or ads

Optional End-to-End Encryption

If you enable cross-device sync:

- Notes are encrypted on your device before being sent anywhere
- Only you have the encryption key
- Not even we can read your synced notes

Open & Transparent

Minimalist Notes is built with transparency in mind. We believe in simple, honest software that respects your privacy.

Start taking notes with confidence - your thoughts are yours alone.
