PrivacyNotes is a zero-knowledge encrypted workspace that brings your notes, tasks, journals, files, and passwords into one app, so you stop juggling four separate subscriptions.
Everything is encrypted on your device with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before it ever syncs. Your keys are derived from a recovery phrase that never touches our servers, so we cannot read your content, your filenames, or anything else. This is real zero-knowledge, not a marketing label.
Five pillars, one encrypted app:
Built for privacy, not surveillance:
Pricing that respects you:
Works on web, macOS, and soon iOS, Android, Windows and Linux with a responsive mobile layout. Import from Apple Notes, Standard Notes, Google Keep, Obsidian, and markdown in a few clicks.
CLNR is a privacy-first Discord inactivity bot that keeps your member roster healthy over time using a transparent, explainable Decay Score - without privileged intents and without intentionally storing message content (message bodies) as part of normal bot operation.
No surprises: automation is optional. Start with warnings and manual review, then enable roles or auto-kick only if you want.
CLNR stores server config (thresholds/role & channel IDs), Discord IDs and display names (for UX), and activity metadata needed for scoring/analytics. It does not intentionally store message bodies in normal operation. See our website for full details.
Free (โค200 managed members), Pro (โค500), Scale (unlimited). Start with /start and a preset.
PrivacyNotes
CLNRPrivacyNotes'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.
CLNR's answer:
Transparent Decay Score + explainability and guardrails. CleanerBot manages inactivity gradually (warnings โ roles โ review โ optional removal) without privileged intents and without intentionally storing message bodies in normal operation.
PrivacyNotes's answer
Three reasons:
CLNR's answer:
CleanerBot is built for fair, predictable inactivity hygiene with clear thresholds and optional human review. Actions are explainable and automation stays optional, so nothing feels sudden or arbitrary.
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.
CLNR's answer:
Server owners and moderation teams who want fair, transparent roster hygiene without invasive analyticsโespecially gaming/RP, creators, education cohorts, product/SaaS communities, NGOs/volunteer hubs, and open-source communities.
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.
CLNR's answer:
Built around โleast privilegeโ and trust: explainable scoring + configurable guardrails to reduce moderation drama, without requiring privileged intents or storing message bodies in normal operation.
PrivacyNotes's answer
React, TypeScript, Vite and Tailwind CSS.
CLNR's answer:
A cloud-hosted Discord application built on interactions (slash commands) plus scheduled background jobs for scoring and inactivity workflows. Stores Discord IDs and minimal activity metadata required by enabled features.
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.
This app checks every box for me. Clean interface, no learning curve, local-first encryption, and secure sync across all of my devices.
The biggest surprise is how many apps it replaced. Instead of juggling separate apps for notes, habits, mood, activities, and important dates, everything lives in one place now. It's made staying organized a lot simpler.
Paying once and knowing I won't lose access to my workflow because I canceled yet another subscription is incredibly refreshing. That peace of mind is worth a lot to me.
The best thing about this: No subscription model, it's a one-time fee for a lifetime license. But you can start for free with the generous freemium model. I only needed to upgrade to pro because I wanted to use the app on my phone, laptop and desktop. Highly recommended! Btw, it's a perfect markdown editor as well, not sure why they don't emphasize this more.
