Why WiseNotes

Your knowledge, connected.

Your Knowledge, Connected

The eye suggests links as you write, and Constellations turns your library into a living map of how your ideas relate.

Private by Design

End-to-end encrypted, no account, no email — a recovery phrase is your entire identity. One-tap encrypted backups and full export: your notes are always yours to take.

iPhone + Mac, Paired in Seconds

Add a device by showing it a six-character code. Edits appear on your other devices live — directly over your network when they're nearby.

Collaborate

Share a single note with people you choose. Each shared note has its own key — only the people you invite can read it.

Checklists That Keep Up

Tick a box on your Mac and watch it check itself on your iPhone. Lists, groups, labels, colors, reminders — all synced live.

Made for Rigorous Thinkers

A built-in logic toolbar (∀ ∃ → ∴ ¬ ∧ ∨) for arguments and proofs, wikilinks, backlinks, and a customizable editor.

How It Works

A thinking space that gets smarter as you write.

Capture

Notes, checklists, code — capture any of them in a keystroke, with colors, labels, and reminders when you want them. Everything saves instantly, on your device.

Connect

Type [[ to link notes yourself — or let the eye read what you wrote and suggest the connections you didn’t see. Every link becomes a thread between thoughts.

Grow

Groups become tinted constellations; links become the lines between stars. Flip to discovery mode and your whole library rearranges into a map of how you actually think.

Touch The Sky

This one’s alive — try it.

A tiny constellation of make-believe notes. Hover to light up a thought’s connections; drag a star and watch it settle home.

Your device holds the key

Every key derives from your recovery phrase. It never leaves your hardware — not to us, not to anyone.

Only ciphertext leaves

Notes are sealed on-device before they sync. What travels is unreadable without your key.

The relay can't read a thing

Our server just passes sealed boxes between your devices. No account, no email, nothing to breach.

The Real Thing

Watch your notes light up the sky.

How It Compares

Your notes, on your terms.

An honest comparison — including the rows we don’t win.

¹ Requires turning on iCloud Advanced Data Protection, which is off by default. ² Obsidian is local files; its E2EE sync is a paid add-on. ³ Apple’s shared notes are excluded from Advanced Data Protection’s end-to-end encryption. Comparison reflects our understanding as of mid-2026 — corrections welcome at support@wisenotes.io.

We built WiseNotes because our thinking lived in six apps and we trusted none of them — not with our ideas, and not to show us how those ideas fit together. We wanted one place that draws the map of what you actually think, and that nobody else can read: not the relay, not a company, not anyone without your phrase. This is that place. It’s where every note of ours lives now.

Questions, Answered

What’s free, and what needs Pro?

Everything on one device is free forever — unlimited notes, link suggestions, Constellations, checklists, encrypted backups, full export. Pro adds end-to-end encrypted sync across your devices and collaboration.

What happens if I lose my recovery phrase?

Your phrase is the only key that exists. While you have a signed-in device you can view it any time in Settings. Lose every device and the phrase, and your synced notes can’t be decrypted — that’s the point: nobody, including us, can read them without it.

Can I get my notes out?

Always. One-tap encrypted backups and full library export are free-tier features — your notes never live anywhere you can’t take them from.

When does it launch?

The iPhone beta is on TestFlight now — ask for access. The App Store release lands once review clears; join the list and you’ll hear the day it ships.
