New: search your handwriting and turn it into text, right on your device. Lay out notes side by side with Sections. Encrypted, offline-first, and yours to keep.
Oaklet Notes brings writing, whiteboards, drawing, and structured knowledge together in a single note — kept in an encrypted vault that stays on your device. Write, sketch with Apple Pencil, build mind maps, and handle tables, math, and diagrams — then link everything into your own knowledge graph.
It's truly yours: offline-first, encrypted on your own device, with no account to create.
TRULY PRIVATE
• AES-256-GCM encryption protects every note
• Vault password, plus an optional Note Password for sensitive notes
• Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID (Pro)
• Auto-lock when you step away
• Works fully offline — no account to create, and your notes never pass through our servers
MULTI-MODAL — EVERY MODE, ONE NOTE
• A block-based rich-text editor
• Drawing with native Apple Pencil — pressure-sensitive, low-latency, layers, fill, and SVG export
• Whiteboard for mind maps and flowcharts, with one-click auto layouts
• Tables with formulas, LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, code blocks, task lists
• Decorations — stickers, sticky notes, tape, and stamps, pinned to your text or floating free
PRIVATE AI, ON YOUR TERMS
• Connect a local AI model on your own network — no API key, no third-party cloud
• Or use your own cloud AI provider
• Drafting and rewriting, semantic search, auto-tagging, whiteboard generation, and plain-language tool calling
• AI is optional — the app connects to your provider rather than hosting one
ORGANIZE & CONNECT
• [[WikiLinks]] and ![[embeds]] build your knowledge network
• Backlinks panel and an interactive knowledge graph
• Hierarchical tags and full-text search
SYNC & SHARE ACROSS YOUR OWN DEVICES
• Direct Share — send a note straight to a nearby iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC. Pair once with a code; transfers are encrypted end to end and go straight from one device to the other
• Local Sync (Pro) — turn one of your own computers into the sync hub for all your devices. It only ever holds encrypted files, never your password
• Prefer your own WebDAV server? Sync through that instead — or keep everything on this device
NO LOCK-IN
• Notes on your own disk, not a vendor's database
• Import and export Markdown anytime; export to PDF, HTML, and Word
• Move notes between devices and vaults as .yzn packages, without losing anything
Oaklet Notes is free to use. An optional Pro subscription unlocks advanced features — try it free for 30 days in the app. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and can be managed in Settings.

Your handwriting is now searchable, and you can lay out notes side by side.
• Search your handwriting. What you write by hand, on the page or in a drawing, is recognized on your device, so search finds it.
• Turn handwriting into typed text. Convert a selection, a whole drawing, or the handwriting on a page, and fix any misread words in the preview first.
• Sections: put blocks side by side in columns, or arrange them freely as cards and connect them with lines.
• New "Match editor" theme mode: the app goes light or dark with the paper you're writing on. Paper colors are regrouped, with a new Bright group.
• Knowledge Graph (Pro): new Rings and Sphere views, and suggested links between notes you haven't connected yet.
• Writing suggestions (Pro) can now be generated on your device by Apple Intelligence (supported devices, iOS 26 or later).
• Opening a note from search now takes you straight to the match.
• Note history now keeps your handwriting, cover, and decorations.
• Fixed Cut and paste removing text that wasn't selected.
• Other fixes and improvements.
