Syncronote
Same notes.Every device.No drama.
Add something on your phone and it's already there when you open the laptop. Syncronote merges every edit instead of picking one device to trust and dropping the rest.
How it works
You add it on your phone. It's already there on the laptop.
That's really the whole trick. Syncronote treats every device's edits as real and merges them instead of letting one overwrite the other. Cross something off in the kitchen, add three things at the shop, and the laptop just has all of it next time you open it. Even the line you typed with no signal in the car park.
What you get
A small, sturdy tool. Nothing to configure.
Syncronote isn't a workspace or a wiki. It's pages of text that stay in sync and stay yours, plus a handful of things that make that genuinely pleasant day to day.
Real merge, not luck
Edit the same page from two devices and both changes stick, even if one happened offline. Most notes apps that encrypt your content can't do this — the server can't read what changed, so a conflict just duplicates the note and leaves you to sort it out by hand. Syncronote actually merges, so nothing gets left behind and nothing gets doubled.
Locked with an encryption phrase only you hold
Every page is encrypted before it leaves your device. We don't hold the key, so we can't read them. Same deal on every plan, not a Pro perk.
Colour-sort your pages
Nine colours to split work from home, urgent from someday. Sorted the way you actually think, not the way a folder tree wants you to.
Highlight the line you'll need later
Wrap a line in ** and it gets a bar behind it. The gate number, the address, the bit you'll actually go back for.
New device, one scan
Point your phone's camera at a code on your laptop and you're in. No password typed out on a six inch keyboard.
Works offline, catches up later
Keep writing on a train, in a lift, wherever. It syncs the moment you're back online. There's no sync button to remember.
Everywhere
One set of pages. Whatever you're holding.
Phone, tablet, or a proper keyboard. Same pages, laid out for what you're actually using.
Desktop. Page list alongside the editor.
Tablet. Single pane, touch sized.
Phone. The same page, mid thought.
Security
Locked up properly, without the fuss
Your notes are encrypted with an encryption phrase that's separate from your login password. One only you know, picked or generated the first time you sign in. We built it this way because it's the right way to store someone's notes. Not because we needed a security pitch.
New device
New device, same notes, no typing
Scan a code from a device you already trust and the new one's paired in seconds. No sixteen character password typed on a phone keyboard, no email round trip.

New page
Opens a blank page and drops you straight into it — nothing to name or save first.
A page
Every page you've made, coloured and named. Tap one to open it.
Text size
Three sizes for the editor's body text. Remembered on this device only.
Connection
Two dots: are you online, and is this particular page synced. See the key below.
Menu
Account settings, other devices, and signing out — see the section further down.
Title
Type a name and it saves as you go, up to 20 characters.
Colour
Ten colours. Tints the sidebar row and the page itself, so it's a glance away.
Highlight
Marks the current line. Two clicks, not one — see below.
Copy
Copies the page's plain text to your clipboard.
Move to Bin
Soft delete, no confirmation needed — nothing is gone yet. See below.
Working in a page
The four things you'll do most
Highlight a line
Each press drops a literal ** at the cursor — the same marks you'd type by hand. The moment both marks land on one line, Syncronote paints a bar behind it.
It's deliberately not smart about where the cursor is: what you mark is exactly what gets highlighted, nothing more.
Colour and rename
Ten colours tint both the sidebar row and the page behind your text — so the right page is a colour you recognise, not a title you have to read.
The Rubbish Bin
Moving a page to the Bin (control 10, above) needs no confirmation — it isn't gone. Deleting it from the Bin does, and offers to copy its contents to your clipboard first, in case you change your mind after all.
The menu
Five things, all of them account-wide rather than page-specific: your Account settings, the two ways to add a device, logging out other devices, and logging out of this one.
Keeping notes yours, in detail
An encryption phrase, not a password
The first time you log in, Syncronote asks for a separate encryption phrase — generated for you or chosen by hand — and shows a one-time recovery code.
This part matters
Your password can be reset by email. Your encryption phrase can't — Syncronote's servers never see it. Lose it along with the recovery code, and your notes are unrecoverable.
Two devices, one account
Pairing works both ways
From an unlocked device, choose Add a new device (control 5) and scan the code with the new one. Or start from the new device and scan a code shown on one you already trust — either direction ends the same way, with no password typed twice.
Getting in
Four short screens, once
On your phone
Same app, one pane at a time
Every control above still exists — the sidebar and editor just take turns filling the screen, with a back arrow between them.

A page, open

The one real difference
On desktop, all ten colours sit in a row. On a phone, they'd crowd out the title — so the swatch becomes a button that opens the same ten colours in a small palette. Same dots, same tap.
