Why mashnote

Better than Apple Notes. On purpose.

Apple Notes is competent but shallow and Apple-locked. mashnote keeps the speed you love and removes every wall.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

The early-Evernote triad — clean, focused, fast — with a modern, local-first engine underneath.

Editor

Rich text that round-trips to Markdown

A flowing, WYSIWYG editor — not blocks, not raw markup. Format as you type, and your notes stay portable.

  • Headings, bold, italic, lists, checklists, code, quotes & links
  • Inline images and file attachments
  • A minimal floating toolbar — never a permanent ribbon

Organise

Notebooks, tags & an Inbox that just works

Everything lands in your Inbox first, then flows into notebooks and tags — exactly the unsorted-then-filed rhythm early Evernote got right.

  • Sub-notebooks and colour-coded tags
  • The Inbox is the default landing spot for new and shared notes
  • Keyboard-first: ⌘K command palette, ⌘P quick switcher

Search

Find anything — even text inside images

Full-text search across every note, and OCR that reads the text in your photos and PDFs so nothing is ever lost.

  • Instant search across 10k+ notes
  • Search works offline, too
  • OCR on-device — private by design

Reliability

Local-first. Offline by default, synced in the background.

Your notes live on your device and sync quietly in the background. No spinners, no "connection lost" dead-ends — typing never blocks.

  • Feels instant — ready to type
  • Conflict-free sync on a CRDT engine
  • Every edit saved locally the instant you make it
Local-first Synced
Offline — everything saved on device
Syncs in the background — never blocks typing

Capture

Speak it. It becomes a note.

Tap the mic and talk — live on-device transcription turns your words into a note. No audio uploaded, no cloud transcription.

  • Native speech-to-text on iOS, web & desktop
  • Global hotkey and menu-bar capture
  • Share to mashnote from any app
Listening…

“Remind me to send the launch notes…”

One command palette for everything.

  • Jump to any note by typing its name
  • Create a new note straight from the palette
  • Toggle dark mode, search everything, open settings — no mouse needed
  • ↑↓ to move, ↵ to open, esc to close

Tasks

Checklists that actually get things done.

Not just boxes to tick — give any checklist item a due date or a high-priority flag, and see what matters at a glance.

  • Due dates in one tap — Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, or any day
  • High-priority flag (⌘!) so the important stuff stands out
  • Type @due(tomorrow) or @high inline — no menus needed
  • Checklists live inside your note, so tasks and context stay together

  • Anyone with the link can read the note — no sign-in required
  • Revoke a link anytime — access disappears instantly
  • Signed-in recipients can save it to their Inbox in one tap

Roadmap

Built for teams from day one.

mashnote launched personal — but its sync engine was architected for teams, so collaboration is a feature launch, not a rebuild.

Our approach

Shared notebooks

Collaborate in real time, not via email chains.

Roles & invite links

Owner, editor, viewer — invite with a link.

Presence

See who's viewing a note, live.

@mentions on checklists

Assign a task right inside a note.

Your notes, finally fast. Everywhere.

Start free today — offline, private, and yours to keep. No credit card required.
