to self

to self — private notes and journal, end-to-end encrypted.

Capturing a thought should feel as natural as sending yourself a text. to self uses a chat-style interface where notebooks are your contacts and notes are your messages — quick to open, quick to write, nothing in the way.

Everything you write is encrypted on your device before it ever leaves. Not even we can read your notes.

🔒 END-TO-END ENCRYPTED
Your notes and file attachments are encrypted on-device with AES-256-GCM before any data is uploaded. The server only ever stores ciphertext. We cannot read your notes. Nobody can.

📵 OFFLINE-FIRST
Write anywhere — with or without signal. to self stores everything locally and syncs automatically when you reconnect. Your notes are always available, always instant.

🔄 REAL-TIME SYNC ACROSS DEVICES
One account, all your devices. Pick up a note on your tablet exactly where you left off on your phone.

💬 CHAT-STYLE INTERFACE
Notebooks work like contacts. Notes work like messages. The most frictionless way to capture a fleeting thought, idea, daily journal entry, or anything you need to remember.

📎 ENCRYPTED FILE ATTACHMENTS
Attach photos and documents to any note. Attachments are encrypted and stored in your private cloud alongside your notes.

📁 NOTEBOOKS & ORGANISATION
Create and nest notebooks however suits you. Your structure, your way.

🗑️ TRASH & RESTORE
Deleted notes go to trash first. Restore anything you change your mind about.

📤 IMPORT & EXPORT
Your data is yours. Export everything whenever you want.

PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY

Most apps claim to care about privacy. to self is built around it from the ground up:

• No ads — ever
• No third-party analytics or crash reporters
• No data selling, sharing, or profiling
• Encryption happens on your device — we never hold your decryption keys
• Only permission required is internet access for sync — no camera, contacts, or location access
