Hi, I'm Filip! For those interested, here's a backstory of my journey building this app:

Two years ago, I started searching for an app where I can keep all my tasks and notes in one place, easily accessible from anywhere. Notion was the closest thing I could find, but it felt slow and overly complicated. So, I decided to create my own app.

I focused a lot on UX - simplicity, having your notes load ASAP and be able to use all features offline. So I built it using local-first principles, where all your data is ONLY stored on your device. This also gave me peace of mind knowing anyone can store anything on it (including passwords, secret keys, etc.) without the risk of data leaks. These features provided such a unique value proposition that I couldn't find in other apps.

The app is also completely free to use, without any limitations! I also built the cheapest subscription tier for users who'd want their data to automatically sync between devices, using end-to-end encryption so that their data remains private.

Let me know what you think! Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
