Is Kithnote really free?
Yes. The browser app, Windows preview, and encrypted sync are free. Sync has storage and usage limits during the beta; there is no separate sync subscription. You can see the current limits in our beta terms.
Can I use Kithnote without installing anything?
Yes. Open the notebook in your browser and start writing. The Windows app is optional. After the web notebook has loaded and its offline files are cached, you can keep writing without a connection.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed for a local notebook. Create an account when you want to set up cloud sync. Connecting another device uses your private connection kit; signing in alone does not unlock your encrypted notes.
How are my notes protected?
Sync encrypts note titles, text, folders, and Trash state on your device before uploading them. A separate, optional vault password protects your saved local notebook. Account information and some sync metadata are still processed by the service. Read the privacy details for the full picture.
Can I bring my existing notes?
You can import Markdown files and export your notebook as Markdown. That makes it easy to bring your writing with you and keep an independent copy outside Kithnote.
Which platforms are available?
Kithnote is available on the web and as a portable Windows x64 preview. The current Windows preview is unsigned and does not yet update automatically. Visit the download page for the latest release details.
