Mimiri Notes vs Notesnook

Mimiri Notes

• Confidential notes and credentials the provider cannot read
• Families or small teams sharing a branch of private notes
• People who want an account without giving an email address

Notesnook

• People who want notes the provider cannot read
• Unlimited notes across many devices on a free plan
• Users who want open source clients and sync server
• Students and educators, who can get Pro for $19.99 a year

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.

Notesnook

• The free plan allows 50 MB of attachment uploads a month and 10 MB per file, and caps notebooks and tags at 50 each.
• Paid tiers mainly raise storage and limits: Essential gives 1 GB a month, Pro 10 GB and Believer 25 GB.
• Prices on notesnook.com are localized by country and shown with tax; the dollar prices here come from the US App Store listing.
• The 5-year plan is prepaid and does not include the 14-day trial.

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.

Notesnook

End-to-end encryption

Everything is encrypted on the device with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2 before it syncs, so the servers hold only data they cannot read.

Rich editor

The editor handles tables, task lists, outlines, code blocks, maths formulas, images and file attachments, with Markdown support.

Vault and app lock

The app can require a fingerprint, PIN or password to open, and a vault puts selected notes behind a second password.

Linked notes

Notes link to one another, and each note lists both the notes it points to and the notes that reference it.

Web clipper and published notes

An open source clipper for Chrome and Firefox saves pages or selections into notes. A single note can be published as a web page, optionally behind a password.

Reminders and Inbox API

Reminders can be set on any note and fire from the device. An inbox API lets Zapier, IFTTT or your own script add notes, encrypted with your key.
