hYYa Encrypted Notes

Encrypted notes. No servers.

Free · In‑App Purchases

Encryption, iCloud sync and export — free forever, no account, no server. Write privately from day one. Unlimited notes is a one-time unlock, never a subscription. Your notes. Actually private. Actually free. Encryption, iCloud sync, biometric lock and export cost nothing and always will. No account. No server. No subscription. Nothing to breach, because there is nothing to breach. No servers. No leaks. No compromises. FREE FOREVER — FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST PAYING USERS • End-to-end encryption on every note, with AES-256-GCM using Apple's own CryptoKit. • Sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud Drive — yes, free. Most encrypted notes apps put sync behind a subscription. This one never will. • Face ID, Touch ID or Optic ID lock, with passcode fallback. • Export everything as plain Markdown, any time — your images and files come out with it, under their own names. Your writing is never held hostage. • Full-text search across your encrypted notes — without ever writing your words to disk in the clear. • Folders, pinning, colour labels, checklists and live Markdown formatting. • Attach images and files to any note. Images render inline as you write; any other file keeps its own name and opens in a tap on iPhone and iPad, or in your usual app on Mac. Attachments are encrypted exactly like the note they belong to. Charging for encryption in an encryption app would be a bait-and-switch. Paywalling export would be lock-in. We do neither, and we never will. THERE IS NO SERVER. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT. Not "we promise not to look" — there is no backend at all. Your notes are encrypted on your device and sync through your own iCloud. Nothing to subpoena. Nothing to leak. Nothing to shut down and take your notes with it. Titles, folder names and dates are encrypted too. Browsing the files reveals nothing but random identifiers. No analytics. No tracking. No advertising identifier. No third-party SDKs. BUILT FOR APPLE PLATFORMS • Native SwiftUI on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Not a web wrapper. • A real Mac app: full menu bar, keyboard shortcuts, printing, proper Settings. • iPad sidebar layout with drag and drop. • Dynamic Type, VoiceOver and Reduce Motion throughout. • Light and dark themes. SYNC THAT DOESN'T LOSE YOUR WRITING Every note is its own encrypted file, so edits made on two devices are merged back together instead of one device's copy winning. If the same note is genuinely edited in two places at once, both versions are kept. Nothing you typed is ever silently discarded. WHEN YOU WANT UNLIMITED Keep up to 15 notes free for as long as you like — no time limit, no nagging. Want more? Unlock unlimited notes with ONE payment. Once. Forever. On iPhone, iPad and Mac. Never a subscription. Nothing you have written can ever become unreadable, because there is nothing to lapse.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Simpler, and free for longer. • No more trial countdown. The app is free forever with up to 15 notes and no time limit — nothing expires, and nothing is taken away. • The upgrade screen is much shorter and says plainly what stays free: encryption, biometric lock, iCloud sync and export. Always. • Mac: select several notes at once with Command-A, then move or file them together. • Mac: hover any toolbar button to see what it does. Encryption, sync and export have never been behind the paywall, and never will be.
