A complete tour of what's shipping today. Scan to whatever matters to you most — privacy, the block editor, search, organization, tasks, theming, or import & export.
The reason Solo Note exists. Built for work that should stay on your Mac — and stay out of the cloud.
No network code, no server side. Nothing you write is ever uploaded — to us, to Apple, or to anyone else.
Every note, block, tag, and image is sealed with AES-256 before it touches your drive.
Solo Note opens straight into your notes. The encryption key lives in your Mac's secure Keychain and is bound to this device.
No analytics, no telemetry, no ads. There is nothing to opt out of, because there is nothing collected.
Runs inside Apple's strictest application sandbox. It can only read files you hand it through a standard file picker.
The vault folder is excluded from system indexing and backup by default.
Copied text is marked concealed and auto-clears after 30 seconds.
Solo Note always confirms before printing, so a stray ⌘P never sends a note to a shared printer.
Write the way you think. A modern block-based editor that turns paragraphs, lists, code, and media into interchangeable building blocks — all keyboard-first.
Press / on an empty block to fuzzy-search every block type without leaving the keyboard.
Type # , ## , - , 1. , [] , > , --- at the start of a block — Solo Note converts it as you type.
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, inline code, and custom colors — preserved across edits.
⌥⌘↑ / ⌥⌘↓ to shuffle, ⌘D to duplicate, or grab a block and drag it.
Nest lists and blocks with ⇥ / ⇧⇥ or ⌘] / ⌘[.
Keep the current block centered and dim the rest of the note. Great for long-form writing.
Left, center, or right alignment on any block.
Type #projects anywhere and it's instantly searchable.
Every block type included in Solo Note. Insert from the slash menu, the + button, or a markdown shortcut.

Bash, C, C++, C#, CSS, Go, HTML, Java, JavaScript, JSON, Kotlin, Markdown, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, SQL, Swift, TypeScript, YAML — plus generic plaintext. Highlight colors track your active theme, so snippets always feel like part of the notebook.
Search every note's title and body at once, ranked best-match-first.
Every action in the app, one keystroke away.
Next / previous navigation with ⌘G / ⇧⌘G.
Connect ideas across your notebook without copying URLs.
Keep separate, fully isolated notebooks (Work, Personal, Research) and switch between them from the toolbar.
Drag-and-drop reorganization.
Attach to any note, rename anywhere — they update everywhere.
Stay at the top of every list.
Protect a finished note from accidental edits.
Text, number, date, checkbox, and URL fields — built-in and user-defined.
For thoughts that don't belong inside the note's content.
Capture and restore earlier drafts of any note.
Nothing is permanently deleted until you say so.
A real to-do system, not just checklist blocks.
For tasks that don't belong inside a note.
Checkboxes inside a note can mirror automatically into a list, so a task shows up everywhere it should.
With daily, weekly, or monthly recurrence.
Drag-to-reorder lists in any order you like.
Sidebar, notes list, editor — each pane resizable and hideable.
Open multiple notes at once with drag-to-reorder tabs.
Capture a thought from anywhere on your Mac without raising the main window.
Sortable columns, pin-to-top, scannable at a glance.
Pane sizes, sidebar sections, and window frame survive every launch.
