nota — a quiet journal

write briefly, own completely. nota keeps every entry as a plain Markdown file on your iPhone — no account, no cloud, no noise. free for 7 days.

nota is a quiet place to write.

Every thought you capture becomes a plain Markdown file on your iPhone — not a row in someone else's database. Write a line, write a paragraph, attach a photo. nota keeps it as a real file you can read, back up, and open in any text editor, for as long as you own a computer.

That's the whole idea: files over apps. The tool should never outlive what you made with it.

— A feed, not a form. Open nota and just write. Your day is a simple timeline of timestamped entries. No templates, no prompts you have to answer, no streak guilt — only a gentle ring if you want it.

— Three ways back in. now is today. stream is everything you've ever written, searchable, day by day. echoes resurfaces what you wrote a week, a month, a year ago — the part a folder of files can't do on its own.

— Yours, on your terms. Choose where nota keeps your notes — on your iPhone or your own folder. Pick from twelve accent colors and a light or dark paper. Add photos. Export any entry as Markdown to share or archive. Tap the file path to open your notes right in the Files app.

— Private by design. nota has no account, no sign-in, and no analytics. Nothing you write leaves your device unless you choose to share it. There is no server to breach because there is no server.

— Made to be owned. Try nota free for 7 days. After that, a single one-time purchase — nota heritage — unlocks it for good. No subscription. Buy it once, own it forever, just like the files it writes.
