Frequently Asked Questions

What makes MinimalistNotes different from other minimalist notes apps?

MinimalistNotes works in any browser on any device - no app download required. Unlike Notally (Android-only), Minimal (Apple-only), or Bear (subscription required), MinimalistNotes is free, cross-platform, and requires no account.

Is MinimalistNotes really free?

Yes, 100% free with no premium tiers, no subscriptions, and no hidden costs. All features are available to everyone. No account required means no upselling.

How is MinimalistNotes minimalist?

We removed everything that gets in the way of writing: accounts, cloud sync setup, complex organization systems, subscription nags. Open the app, write your note. That's it.

Where are my notes stored?

Notes are stored in your browser's local storage on your device. They never leave your computer/phone. This is why no account is needed - there's nothing to sync to our servers.

Can I use MinimalistNotes on multiple devices?

Currently, notes are stored locally per device. Cross-device sync is coming soon. For now, you can export notes and import them on another device, or use the share link feature.
