Overview

OpenNotas is a Nuxt/Vue-based cross-platform personal note application delivered as a PWA. It combines Markdown editing, sync adapters, and AES-based end-to-end encryption while deliberately keeping the workflow simple. It does not use GitHub Releases; the package version checked on September 17, 2026 is 1.5.1.

Features and best fit

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

Use a lightweight Markdown note app across desktop and mobile through PWA

OpenNotas targets a simple cross-platform note-taking flow. Its Nuxt 3/Vue stack uses editor components including CodeMirror, Tiptap, and Milkdown.

Sources: [2][3]

Configure device synchronization with AES end-to-end encryption

Synchronization is configured through adapters, and the README states that note data is encrypted with AES before it reaches the synchronization server.

Sources: [2]

For personal note-taking where simplicity and privacy matter more than a large knowledge-management suite

It fits users who prioritize quick text notes, PWA portability, encrypted sync, and a smaller feature surface.

Maintainer bandwidth is limited, and subdirectories may carry their own licenses

The README warns that new-feature pull requests may be delayed due to the author's available time. The root LICENSE is AGPL-3.0-or-later unless a subdirectory contains its own LICENSE or LICENSE.md.
