Notesnook is a note program in which you write, classify and search texts. You can synchronize your notes between desktop and mobile devices. The contents will be encrypted on your device before it is stored via the synchronization service.

You use tags and search filters to keep a larger collection clear. This is useful for study notes, project information or a personal archive. There are also tools for importing data from other notebook templates. After such a change, check the layout and attachments of a few representative notes.

Notesnook has free usage options and paid subscriptions for additional storage and features. The version mentioned on this page is the desktop edition. Your mobile app may have a different version number. Encryption also makes it important to keep your recovery data well; treat it as a fixed part of your facility.

Who is it for?

You want to use notes on multiple devices and find encryption important. You need more structure than a directory of loose text files.

Getting started

Install the desktop app, set up your account and recovery data and make a first note. Check the synchronization on a second device before importing a full archive.

Privacy

Notesnook uses end-to-end encryption with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2. Your account and connection data are not the same as the encrypted note content. Save exports and recovery data yourself safely.

Good to know

Additional functions and storage may require a paid subscription. You need to keep your recovery data carefully.

Please note

Check your recovery data before switching devices. An own export remains sensible, even when the synchronization works.

Our verdict

Notesnook suits you if you want to combine the convenience of synchronization with encrypted note content. Tags and search also make it useful for a growing archive. The balance is mainly in the subscription and your recovery plan: check which functions you need and occasionally make your own export. This way you not only keep access through your account, but also a usable backup copy.
