What you get
Open and type
Capture from the lock screen, a share sheet or a quick widget. Your thought is saved before you finish the sentence.
Search that finds
Search understands typos and partial words, so a half-remembered phrase is enough to bring the note back.
End-to-end encrypted
Lock individual notes with a passcode or biometrics and keep sensitive lists away from curious eyes.
Everywhere you are
Changes sync across devices within seconds, and conflicts are merged line by line so nothing gets lost.

About Papertrail
A notes app should be as quick as a paper notebook and as searchable as a database. Everything else is optional. We keep the editor plain and fast, store notes as text you could open anywhere, and encrypt them before they ever leave your device. Tags and pins replace folder trees, search does the organising, and export is always one tap away because your writing should never be locked into a format.
Frequently asked questions
What about exporting?
Export any note or the whole notebook as plain text, Markdown or PDF at any time. Your words stay yours.
Are my notes private?
Yes. Notes are encrypted on your device before they are synced, and only you hold the key. We cannot read them.
Can I use it on several devices?
Your notebook follows you across phone, tablet and desktop. Changes appear everywhere within seconds.
