Zero-knowledge by design

Even we can't read your notes.

Drag the slider. The left is what you write; the right is the scrambled ciphertext our servers actually store. Your key is only ever unsealed on your device — so only you ever see the left.

What Dim Notes is

Three things, done deliberately.

A private notebook.

Encrypted on your device before it leaves it. The server stores ciphertext. Even we can't read your notes.

No cloud AI.

Your notes are never sent to a cloud AI service or used to train anything. If AI features are ever added, they run entirely on your device — the content never leaves it.

Not a workspace.

No databases, no blocks, no templates. Open the app, write something down, find it later.
