Key Features:

There is no need for importing or exporting notes as users retain continuous control over their data. While apps may fluctuate in availability, your notes will persist.

Git was selected as the backend due to the ease of self-hosting a Git server compared to other software options. Furthermore, the abundance of commercial Git providers allows users to select their trusted data host. While encryption is not currently supported for notes, the development team is actively working on implementing this feature.
