Ideas become useful
when they connect.

Good notes are not a filing cabinet. They are a conversation with your past self.

see what you know.

and tags.

Write without a fussy editor. Sort when it helps, ignore structure when it doesn’t.

MAKE CONNECTIONS

both ways.

Connect notes with [[wiki links]] and discover every idea that points back.

CAPTURE THE DAY

every morning.

Your words are
never trapped.

Import your vault, export it as JSON, or save a polished note as a PDF.

Only you
hold the key
AES–GCM On device Private

Your notes don’t
need an audience.

Your vault is encrypted in your browser using AES‑GCM and a key derived from your passphrase. Markpad stores the encrypted result locally—not your readable notes or your key.
