Kanso is free and open source, for macOS, Windows and Linux. Nothing you type here leaves this tab.
A sketch of the app in your browser. The real one is native, and nothing you type here leaves this tab.
Kanso keeps your notes on your computer, as Markdown on your own disk, and all of it works offline. When you sync, each note is sealed before it leaves, so the server holds ciphertext and a few counts, and nothing it could read. It's a native app, written in Rust and drawn by your graphics card, so it's quick and keeps out of the way. And it's free software: if we ever stop, the code doesn't.
The real thing.
