Notesk
What Notesk is
Notesk is a free, keyboard-first note-taking app combining notebooks, checklists, and long-form writing. Its rich-text editor supports headings, checklists, code blocks, highlights, and Markdown shortcuts. Notes can be organized into color-coded notebooks, pinned, or sorted with recent items first. Full-text search covers notes, notebooks, and actions, while a command palette opens with ⌘K. Notesk syncs notes, notebooks, checklists, and edits between browser and Android, and runs in a browser where a dedicated app is unavailable. Listed platforms are web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Dark mode follows the device setting, and note sharing is supported. The service stores notes, notebooks, checklists, and account email, but says it does not sell data or use note contents for advertising. Content is encrypted at rest, not end-to-end, so servers can technically access it during signed-in syncing or viewing. Users can export JSON data or permanently delete accounts in Settings. Analytics are cookieless and hosted on Notesk’s servers without third-party trackers or advertising cookies. The Beta plan is free with no billing.
