Worth knowing
Cryptee
- There are no native or app-store apps: it is a progressive web app installed from the browser, and iOS Lockdown Mode has to be turned off for the site.
- The free plan stops at 100 MB; paid plans are sold by storage size and priced only in euros.
- The client apps are open source, but the backend is not published and the service cannot be run on your own server.
Mimiri Notes
- The free tier is capped at 100 MB, 2,000 notes and 1 MB per note; the largest paid tier stops at 5 GB and 50,000 notes.
- A forgotten password cannot be reset, and the notes cannot be recovered without it.
- Self-hosting is possible, but the vendor says it realistically requires software engineering skills for now.
- The vendor does not issue refunds, and a subscription cannot be shared across accounts.
Key features
Cryptee
- Encrypted document editor
- Documents, notes and journals are encrypted with AES-256 on your device before they leave it, and only you hold the keys. They sync across your devices in encrypted form.
- Markdown, math and structure
- The editor takes Markdown and hotkeys, inline code and KaTeX math, checkboxes, tables and inline #hashtags, builds a table of contents, and cross-links documents and attached files.
- Encrypted photos and videos
- Photo and video storage has albums, hashtags, typo-tolerant search and support for RAW files. Albums can be shared through end-to-end encrypted links.
- Ghost folders and albums
- Folders and albums can be hidden from the account entirely and brought back only by someone who knows their names.
- File format support
- It opens and edits DOCX, ODT and PDF files, imports Evernote notes, opens and saves Markdown files and exports documents as PDFs. PDFs and ebooks can sit beside a document.
- Installable web app
- Cryptee runs in a browser and installs as a progressive web app on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. The installed app also works offline.
Mimiri Notes
- End-to-end encryption
- Everything is encrypted with AES-GCM-256 on the device before it is sent or written to storage, and the password never leaves the device.
- Encrypted sharing
- A single note or a whole branch can be shared with another user by username and a one-time code. Changes inside the shared branch sync between participants automatically.
- Note tree
- Notes nest without limit and any note can hold both content and sub-notes, so there are no separate folders. A search narrows the tree to find a note.
- Sync and offline access
- Notes sync across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and a web client. Each device keeps a local copy, so notes can be read and edited offline and sync later.
- Unlimited version history
- Every change creates a history entry that can be viewed and restored, on every plan. Deleted notes go to a Recycle Bin first.
- Password hiding and app lock
- Text marked as a password is hidden on screen and copied with a tap. The app hides itself from screen-sharing programs and can lock with a PIN when left unused.
