Overview

Justnote is a privacy-focused note-taking client centered on end-to-end encryption and user ownership of account and data. It targets the web, Android, and iOS, with nested lists, pinning, tags, locking, and dark mode. The repository does not use GitHub Releases; the current web package source version checked on September 17, 2026 is 0.35.0.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Combine user-held decryption keys with practical note organization

The README describes end-to-end encryption where only the user knows the decryption key, plus nested lists, pinning, tags, locked lists and notes, and dark mode across web and mobile clients.

Use Next.js and React on web, Expo and React Native on mobile, with Stacks libraries for identity and storage

The current web package uses Next.js 15, React 19, Redux, CKEditor, Tailwind CSS, and Stacks auth/encryption/storage/wallet SDKs. The mobile package uses Expo 54 and React Native 0.81.

Sources: [3][4]

For users who prioritize E2EE and inspectable clients over a conventional hosted note SaaS

It is a candidate when source visibility, encryption boundaries, and Stacks-based identity or storage are more important than a fully managed note service.

Verify release cadence and Stacks dependencies before treating it as a production note platform

There is no GitHub latest release, and repository metadata shows the last push on February 3, 2026. Check the current public service, mobile builds, and backend/storage dependencies before adoption. The repository is GPL-2.0, and its Stacks dependencies mean it is not a purely offline note application.

Supplemental curator note
