Ayanza's answer

Combination of notes, tasks, and chat in one place. Never switch context again; stay focused and engaged.

PrivacyNotes's answer:

PrivacyNotes is the only zero-knowledge encrypted workspace that keeps notes, tasks, journals, files, and a password vault behind one set of on-device keys. Most privacy apps do one of those well and rent it to you monthly. We do all five, encrypt everything with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before it leaves your device, and charge once instead of forever. The encryption core is open core, published so the claims can be verified rather than trusted.

Ayanza's answer

Coherence - all in one place in a way that makes perfect sense. Focus on team success, not just task management. Team rituals, and focus on async meetings. Note-taking culture.

PrivacyNotes's answer:

Three reasons:

• One app, not four subscriptions. Standard Notes, Day One, and Lunatask each rent you a slice (notes, journaling, tasks). PrivacyNotes covers all of them plus files and a vault, for a fair one-time fee.
• Real zero-knowledge. Your keys come from a recovery phrase that never touches our servers, so we cannot read your notes, your filenames, or your metadata. Some encrypted apps leave note or task metadata in the clear; we do not.
• Verifiable, not just trusted. The crypto and schema are open core and published for review, and there is no ad, tracker, or analytics anywhere in the app.

Ayanza's answer

Innovators that want to change the world and seek better ways how to get there. People who genuinely care about their team and know for good that it's not only about the tasks.

PrivacyNotes's answer:

Privacy-conscious individuals and independent professionals who handle information they would not want a vendor reading: lawyers, journalists, healthcare and mental-health practitioners, developers, security specialists, researchers, and founders. It also fits anyone who simply wants one private home for their notes, tasks, journaling, and wellness tracking instead of spreading them across surveillance-funded apps.

Ayanza's answer

We have built another great company together and, after the exit, wondered - what would make our company more successful? Better team management. How to get better at it? How to share more knowledge with the team? How to better listen to other people's opinions and ideas? How to navigate changes faster in uncertain times? So we invested our own money and started Ayanza to find out how to build better teams.

PrivacyNotes's answer:

PrivacyNotes started from a simple frustration: staying organized meant scattering your life across half a dozen apps, most of which could read everything you typed and billed you monthly for the privilege. We wanted one place for notes, tasks, journals, files, and passwords, encrypted so thoroughly that the people running the servers could not read a word of it, and paid for once rather than forever. So we built the encryption first, made the keys live only on your device, and published the crypto as open core so the promise could be checked, not just believed. Everything else grew from one rule: your data is yours, and no one else's to mine.

Ayanza's answer

Our biggest customers are new startups that want a better stack for their new venture and picked Ayanza because they knew, we build for them. They grow fast and you'll know them by name very soon.

PrivacyNotes's answer:

Honestly? We have no idea, and that is the entire point. Signup is anonymous (a recovery phrase or Google, no email or personal details), the app ships zero analytics and zero trackers, and zero-knowledge encryption means we cannot see who you are or what you store. We could not name a single customer if we tried. A privacy product that tracked its users closely enough to brag about them would be missing the plot.
