End-to-end encrypted Markdown notes

A quiet place for your notes. Open only to you.

Cappa encrypts every note on your device before it syncs. Write in Markdown, link your ideas and pick up where you left off on any device, while the server only ever holds ciphertext.

The server keeps your notes, not your words

Flip the switch to see the same note twice: as you write it, and as it is stored for sync. Your master password and the key that opens your notes stay in the browser.

Illustration. Each note is encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM. The server stores and syncs the ciphertext and never receives your master password or the key that decrypts your notes.
