About Dim Notes
Dim Notes is a private notes app — encrypted on your device, free of AI, and built to stay small.
It's an independent project. No outside investors, no acquisition, no plans for either. Dim Notes LLC is wholly owned by a small holding company that belongs entirely to the same one person who builds it — a legal wrapper, not a boardroom.
Why this exists
Most notes apps are racing to add AI. Most privacy apps get bought by larger companies that may not share their original priorities. Most notes apps have grown into workspaces with templates, blocks, and databases.
Dim Notes is the alternative to all three — a private notebook, kept simple, that won't be quietly turned into something else.
What this won't become
These commitments shape what gets built — and what doesn't.
No cloud AI
Never sent to a cloud model or used to train one. Any AI runs entirely on your device.
No investors
Subscriptions from people who use it are enough. No outside growth expectations.
No tracking
No ads, no analytics on your notes, no data sold. Privacy is the premise, not a feature.
No bloat
Folders, tags, search, rich text. No templates, blocks, databases, or plugins. Ever.
How this stays honest
A security whitepaper documenting the encryption design is at /security. It includes what we protect against, what we don't, and acknowledged limitations — the most important document on this site for verifying the privacy claims are real.
If anything on this page ever stops being true — investors arrive, AI gets added, the product is acquired — that change will be announced openly, with users given the chance to export their notes and leave.
Who builds Dim Notes
Dim Notes is built and operated by Dim Notes LLC, a company registered in Delaware, USA. Behind that name is one developer — the same person writes the code, answers support email, and decides what gets built. No team, no investors, no plans for either.
The company exists for the boring reasons: so payments, contracts, and liability sit somewhere proper rather than on an individual. It does not change who builds the product or how it is built.
