to self: Private Notes

to self is a private, encrypted note-taking app built around one idea: capturing a thought should feel as natural as texting yourself. to self uses a chat-style interface where notebooks are your contacts and notes are your messages: quick to open, quick to write, nothing in the way. Use it as a notepad for fleeting ideas, a diary for your day, or a journal you actually keep up with. Everything you write is encrypted on your device before it ever leaves, so it stays secure and readable only by you. KEY FEATURES END-TO-END ENCRYPTED Your notes and file attachments are secured on your iPhone with AES-256-GCM encryption before any data is uploaded. The server only ever stores ciphertext. We cannot read your notes. Nobody can. OFFLINE-FIRST Write anywhere, with or without signal. Jot a quick memo or a full diary entry; to self stores everything locally and backs up automatically when you reconnect. Your notes are always available, always instant. AUTOMATIC ENCRYPTED BACKUP Every note is backed up as you write it, encrypted before it ever leaves your device. Get a new phone? Sign in and make it your backup device, and everything restores exactly as you left it. CHAT-STYLE INTERFACE Notebooks work like contacts. Notes work like messages. The most frictionless way to capture a fleeting thought, idea, daily journal entry, or memo you need to remember. ENCRYPTED FILE ATTACHMENTS Attach photos and documents to any note. Attachments are encrypted and backed up within your storage allowance, and anything beyond it stays safely on your device. NOTEBOOKS & ORGANISATION Create and nest notebooks however suits you, as a notepad, a diary, or a full note-taking system. Your structure, your way. TRASH & RESTORE Deleted notes go to trash first. Restore anything you change your mind about. IMPORT & EXPORT Your data is yours. Export everything whenever you want. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY Most note-taking apps claim to care about privacy. to self is built around it from the ground up: • No ads, ever • No third-party analytics or crash reporters • No data selling, sharing, or profiling • Encryption happens on your device; we never hold your decryption keys • No camera, contacts, or location access. Your photo library is only used when you save something to it
