Notes

№ 01.7 · part of the suite

OneNote-style notes: pages, sub-pages, end-to-end encrypted.


What it does

OneNote-style note-taking: notebooks of pages and sub-pages, rich-text editing, image and file attachments. Real-time co-editing for shared notebooks, end-to-end encrypted for the personal ones. Built for the everyday capture that's lighter than the wiki and looser than a document: meeting notes, day-of jotting, draft thinking, follow-up lists.


CryptDrive sidebar with a nested tree (Drive → Examples), breadcrumb 'Drive / Examples', and a New panel listing every document type (Folder, Code/Markdown, Document, Form, Kanban, Markdown slides, Presentation, Rich Text, Spreadsheet, Whiteboard)

Also included

The operational layer.

End-to-end encrypted

Personal notes are encrypted in the browser before they reach the server, so even the operator can't read them. Team notes can opt back in to server-side preview if you want shared search.

Real-time co-editing

Two people on the same page see each other's cursors. Useful for meeting notes that the whole team writes together.

Image and file attachments

Drop screenshots, PDFs and Office documents into a page; images render inline.

Browser-based, works on every device

Open notes from any laptop, tablet or phone browser. Same login as the rest of the suite.

Guest access via shareable link

Share a single page with someone outside your team: the link grants read or edit access without an account.

Per-page version history

Restore an earlier version of any page; full history kept inside the encryption boundary.

Folders, tags and granular sharing

Organise notebooks the way your team thinks; share a single page or a whole branch.

One thing to know

Server-side search and admin content audits are unavailable on end-to-end encrypted pages by design; encryption is the point. For pages where shared search matters, the option to disable encryption is per-notebook.


Available in

Every tier. In the browser.

Notes ships in Core, Mesh and Fleet: same software, same features. The difference between tiers is operational: Mesh and Fleet add a desktop launcher and (for applicable apps) a sync client, and Fleet adds the managed laptops we ship with everything pre-configured.
