About Driftnote

Driftnote is note-taking that keeps your data yours. Jot something down the moment it hits you — Driftnote opens in a click, saves as you type, and works fully offline. Turn on encryption when you want it, sync across devices through your own Google Drive, and even stick notes onto any web page. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. ✍️ A real rich-text editor • Bold, italic, underline, headings, lists, checklists, quotes, code blocks • Text color, highlight, font family and size, alignment • Insert images, links, and dividers • Auto-saved as you type, auto-titled from your first line 🔐 Optional, per-note encryption • Choose exactly which notes are encrypted — others stay plain • AES-GCM encryption on your device; your passphrase and key never leave it • A one-time recovery code in case you forget your passphrase • The app opens instantly — only encrypted notes ask for your passphrase ☁️ Sync with your own Google Drive • Back up and sync notes across devices into a hidden, app-private Drive folder • Only the minimal drive.appdata permission — Driftnote can't see your other files • Smart conflict handling never silently loses an edit 📌 Sticky notes on any web page • Right-click any page to leave a sticky note, anchored to that page • Rich text and images, drag, resize, recolor, collapse • Side panel lists every sticky grouped by site • Accidentally closed one? Restore it from Recently Deleted • Syncs with Drive too 🗂️Stay organized • Colors, tags with filtering, search, favorites, drag-to-reorder • Trash with restore • Reminders that pop a desktop notification • Command palette (Ctrl/Cmd-K) and keyboard shortcuts • Open in a big, resizable window • Light, dark, and system themes 📤 Your notes, portable • Export any note to Markdown, HTML, plain text, or PDF • Copy or email a note in one click 🛡️Private by design • No analytics. No ads. No data collection. No backend at all. Your notes live in your browser and — if you choose — your own Google Drive. Nowhere else.
