Press one key from any page in your vault, type or speak, and the thought is saved - even offline. There is no workspace to configure and no database to model, and your Notion or Obsidian export comes across in one drop.
No credit card. The free tier stays free.
Not a video, not a screenshot. Slash commands, nesting, covers - all of it works right here. What you write is kept in this browser, and comes with you if you make an account.
Ctrl Alt C opens a box over whatever you are reading or writing, anywhere in the vault. Type or speak, press Ctrl Enter, and you are back where you were with the thought already saved. You never left the page.
The microphone writes as you talk - words land while the sentence is still going, so it reads like a text field rather than like leaving a voicemail.
Live dictation runs on your browser's own speech engine, in Chrome, Edge and Safari. Firefox has none, so there it records the clip and transcribes it instead. Chrome's engine transcribes by sending audio to Google, so this is not an on-device feature.

The page behind it does not move
Drop in a Notion export or an Obsidian vault and your pages arrive with their nesting intact - a page and its sub-pages stay one thing. Zips inside zips are unpacked for you, and you choose which pages come across before a single one is written.
Notion
Export as Markdown, then drop the zip in - nesting and all
Obsidian
Zip the vault folder; your directory structure becomes the tree
Two things do not come across yet: Notion databases, which export as CSV, and images, which stay behind rather than arriving as broken links. The import also stops at your plan's note limit, so a very large vault needs Pro or a narrower selection.

What lands in your vault
Most note apps ask you to build the tool before you can use it - pick a template, model a database, learn the conventions. Every line below is a step we took out instead.
No workspace picker, no template gallery, no empty-state tour
Every pause in your typing, on every device you are signed in on
Edits queue offline - and if one cannot sync, we say so
A dated note opens on demand, so daily capture needs no filing
Type @ to point at another page - and it shows what points back
Pages inside pages, so structure follows the project, not a schema
Search runs over titles and body text, not just page names
Every page exports to Markdown or PDF, on the free plan included
Put a reminder on a document and it emails you when it matters
Home screen on your phone, dock on your desktop, its own window
Flip publish and the document becomes a real URL - readable by anyone you send it to, styled the way you wrote it, with its own preview card. Unpublish and it is private again the same second.
It is a good product and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It is also a lot of product. Here is the split, so you can stop reading early if this is not for you.
The free tier is not a trial. It has no expiry, no card on file and no feature held hostage - most people never leave it, and that is fine.
$0forever
Enough to actually live in, not a countdown to a paywall.
$2per month
Or $20 a year, which works out to two months free.
Yes, on every plan including free. Any document exports to Markdown from its own menu - the whole page, formatting intact. Data portability is a precondition for trusting a notes app, so it is not something we hold behind the paywall.
You can read and write. Pages are cached locally, edits you make with no connection are queued, and everything syncs the moment you are back on. Creating, editing and trashing all work in the air.
Yes. Export from Notion as Markdown, or zip your Obsidian vault, and drop the file in - your pages arrive with their nesting intact, and zips inside zips are unpacked for you. You pick which pages come across before anything is written. Two things do not come with them yet: Notion databases, which export as CSV, and images, which stay behind rather than arriving as broken links.
No, and it starts writing as you speak rather than making you wait for a transcript. It uses the speech engine already in your browser, which Chrome, Edge and Safari all have; Firefox has no such engine, so there it records the clip and transcribes it instead. Worth knowing: Chrome's engine transcribes by sending audio to Google, so dictation is not an offline or on-device feature.
Search covers titles and body text and runs offline, and pages link to each other: type @ to point one note at another, and the note you pointed at shows what links to it. Old writing resurfaces because you referenced it, not because you filed it correctly on the way in.
They stay. Downgrading returns you to the free plan's limits for creating new things - nothing you already wrote is deleted, locked or hidden, and you can still read, edit and export all of it.
In Convex, the backend this runs on, tied to your account and nobody else's. Documents are private until you explicitly publish one, and unpublishing takes it off the web again immediately.
It installs as one. NoteVault is a progressive web app, so adding it to your phone's home screen gives you a real app icon, its own window and offline access - without an app store in the way.
That is the entire onboarding. Whatever you wrote in the editor above comes with you.
Free forever tier. No credit card, no trial clock, no sales call.
