Privacy
minNotes runs entirely on your machine.
- No accounts, no telemetry, no analytics. The app never phones home about you or your notes.
- Your notes are plain files. A note is a standard SQLite database on your disk or share; its media sits in an ordinary folder beside it. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Network access is limited to two things you can see: the update check (Sparkle / WinSparkle fetching the appcast from
minnotes.app), and downloading an image when you paste a remote image URL into a note. - Spelling and grammar checking run fully on your machine. The dictionary and the rule set ship inside the app; no text ever leaves it.
- Exports are yours. HTML, Markdown, Word, PDF, and package exports are written to the location you choose and shared only by you.
minNotes is free software — the complete source is at github.com/cbkow/minNotes under GPL-3.0-or-later, so all of the above is verifiable.
