to self: Private Notes

to self is a private, encrypted note-taking app built around one idea: capturing a thought should feel as natural as texting yourself. 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. Use it as a notepad for fleeting ideas, a diary for your day, or a journal you actually keep up with. Everything you write is encrypted on your device before it ever leaves, so it stays secure and readable only by you. ───────────────────────────── KEY FEATURES ───────────────────────────── 🔒 END-TO-END ENCRYPTED Your notes and file attachments are secured on-device with AES-256-GCM encryption 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. Jot a quick memo or a full diary entry; to self stores everything locally and backs up automatically when you reconnect. Your notes are always available, always instant. ☁️ AUTOMATIC ENCRYPTED BACKUP Every note is backed up as you write it, encrypted before it ever leaves your device. Get a new phone? Sign in and make it your backup device — everything restores exactly as you left it. 💬 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 memo you need to remember. 📎 ENCRYPTED FILE ATTACHMENTS Attach photos and documents to any note. Attachments are encrypted and backed up alongside your notes. 📁 NOTEBOOKS & ORGANISATION Create and nest notebooks however suits you — as a notepad, a diary, or a full note-taking system. 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 note-taking 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 backup — no camera, contacts, or location access
