BeginRooms VS PrivacyNotes

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.

BeginRooms's answer

BeginRooms combines a spatial project organiser with built-in work tools. Give a client or project a 3D cube, then open any of its six faces into an infinite canvas. A freelancer can keep a brief, references, working budget, visual plan and pitch on separate faces of the same project. Docs, Sheets, Slides and whiteboard tools let you create everyday project material inside that workspace. The benefit is keeping the work and its context together, with separate cubes for other clients.

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.

BeginRooms's answer

Consider BeginRooms if you want to organise a project visually and do its everyday writing, calculations and planning in one place. The six-face layout lets you separate parts of the work while keeping them attached to the same project. Test the fit with a real task: write a short brief, add references, work through a budget and reopen the project in your next session. The trial lasts 11 days, needs no card and does not automatically charge you. Specialist tools may still be needed for work beyond the built-in editors; we do not claim to replace every application.

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.

BeginRooms's answer

BeginRooms is designed for freelancers, independent professionals, business owners, project managers and small creative teams who handle several kinds of material around each project. Example uses include a designer organising a client brief and references, a business owner planning a launch and budget, or a project manager keeping decisions beside a delivery plan. The full spatial workspace is intended for desktop and laptop browsers. Start with one current project to judge whether the cube-and-canvas approach fits how you work.

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.

PrivacyNotes's answer:

React, TypeScript, Vite and Tailwind CSS.

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.
