Note titles and content are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption.

Opt-in TOTP two-factor authentication with QR code setup, backup codes, and trusted-device remember.

Organize notes into unlimited nested folders and color-coded tags.

Save any combination of filters — text search, tag, color, pinned, reminder, or date range — as a named smart folder that appears in the sidebar for one-click access.

Quill.js WYSIWYG editor with formatting, lists, headings, tables, code blocks with syntax highlighting, inline math (LaTeX/KaTeX), Mermaid diagrams, and more.

Attach files and images to any note. Attachment files are encrypted at rest, with per-user storage limits.

Every edit is saved as a version so you can restore previous content.

Export any note as plain text, Markdown, HTML, a print-ready PDF, or a Calendar (.ics) file. Export your entire library as a .pnotes archive (notes, folders, tags, attachments) for backup or migration.

A full-screen writing environment that hides the UI and lets you focus on the words. Toggle with Ctrl+Shift+F or the fullscreen icon in the editor.

Word and character counts update in real time as you type, shown below the editor.

Paste, drag-and-drop, or pick images directly into the note editor. Images are stored as encrypted attachments and count towards your storage quota.

A quick-capture bar at the top of the note list lets you capture ideas in three ways: type and press Enter for an instant text note; tap the microphone to record audio; or tap the pencil to open a full sketch pad — draw with pen, shapes, and colors, then save as a new note. Inside the editor, the sketch tool is also available in the toolbar. No form, no folder selection — capture now, organize later.

Share notes with read-only or edit permissions, or generate a public link anyone can view without an account. Post notes to WhatsApp, Telegram, X, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, or Email directly from the Share page — either as a link or as full note content. Type @username in a note to notify a collaborator by email. The Share page shows read receipts for each collaborator.

Every note has a full activity timeline — creation, each edit, when collaborators view it, and sharing changes — visible to the note owner via the toolbar Activity button.

Generate a unique, unguessable link for any note so anyone — no account needed — can view it in a clean read-only page. Disable the link at any time to instantly revoke access.

Protect individual notes with a 4–6 digit PIN. Anyone opening the note — including you — must enter the PIN first. The unlock lasts for the current browser session. The PIN is stored as a secure hash, separate from your account password.

Blur a note to show it in the list but obscure its content until hovered — ideal for sensitive snippets. Hide a note entirely so it only appears when you toggle Show secret notes from the user menu.

Enter select mode to act on multiple notes at once — pin, blur, hide, color-code, add or remove tags, merge, or delete in a single click. Select all or pick individually.

Pin any note to keep it at the top of your note list regardless of sort order — perfect for notes you refer to constantly.

Assign one of 30+ colors to any note for instant visual organization. Set the color via the Action Wheel's color sub-wheel or the note detail toolbar.

Freeze any note to prevent accidental edits without deleting it. The edit button is disabled while frozen; a single click on the snowflake icon unfreezes it. Freeze is also available as an Action Wheel slot.

Save any note as a reusable template and apply it when creating a new note. Five built-in starter templates (Meeting Notes, Daily Journal, Todo List, Weekly Review, Bug Report) are available to everyone straight away.

Type [[Title]] anywhere in a note to create a clickable wikilink to another note or a poll. Notes appear as blue links, polls as green links. Backlinks are shown at the bottom of the linked note so you can navigate in both directions.

Visualise how your notes connect to each other in an interactive force-directed graph. Drag nodes to arrange them, scroll to zoom, and click any node to open that note.

Browse your notes and reminders on a monthly calendar. Every note appears on the day it was created; reminders appear on their scheduled day with their time. Click any day to see a summary panel with links directly to each note.

Open two notes side by side in a resizable split pane. Click the split icon on any note to enter split view, then search and pick a second note for the right panel. Each pane scrolls independently and has its own Edit button — clicking Edit keeps the partner note visible alongside so you can reference it while writing.

Enable the daily note in your profile to get a Today button in the note list toolbar. Each day a new note is automatically created with the current date as its title — perfect for journaling or a daily scratchpad. Press T (default, customizable) to open it instantly.

All data is stored on servers located within the European Union.

Deleted notes go to the Recycle Bin rather than being permanently removed. Restore any note with one click, or empty the bin when you're sure. Notes in the bin are excluded from search and the note list.

Instantly search across all note titles and content. Filter by tag, folder, color, pinned state, or date range — combine any filters to narrow results. Save any search as a smart folder for one-click access later.

Switch between a dark and light interface at any time from the user menu. Your preference is saved to your account and synced across devices.

No ads, no tracking, no selling your data. PongoNotes is free from commercial influence — your notes are yours alone.

Add multiple timed reminders to any note and choose what happens when each fires: receive an email alert, flag the note for review, move it to a folder, or delete it automatically. Supports one-time and recurring reminders (daily, weekly, monthly). Urgency indicators on note cards show how soon a reminder is due — including a pulsing alert for overdue and high-priority reminders.

Quickly create notes, search, switch views and more without touching the mouse. All shortcuts are fully customizable per user.

A radial action menu — press W (customizable), use a two-finger tap on mobile, or tap the floating button to open a configurable wheel of your most-used actions. Choose between a floating-bubbles or a donut-ring visual style, customize up to 8 slots, and pick toggle or hold-to-select behaviour.

The interface is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, and Icelandic. Switch language any time in Profile & Settings.

Add a discussion thread to any shared note. Both the note owner and all collaborators can post, read, and delete their own comments directly on the note's detail page.

Insert emojis into your notes using the 😊 button in the editor toolbar. A searchable emoji picker opens inline — click any emoji to insert it at the cursor position.

Add PongoNotes to your home screen or desktop like a native app. On Android/Chrome an install prompt appears automatically; on iOS tap Share → Add to Home Screen. Opens without browser chrome for a distraction-free experience.

Swipe right from the left edge to open the folder sidebar, swipe left from the right edge to open the account menu. Swipe a side panel back toward its edge to close it. Long-press the grip handle on a folder to reorder it. The note editor toolbar scrolls horizontally — swipe sideways or tap More for additional formatting options.

Export all your notes, folders, tags, templates, and attachments as a single .pnotes file — then import it back with full fidelity on any PongoNotes account. Also import from Evernote .enex, Google Keep (Google Takeout .zip), Notion, Obsidian, Joplin, Bear, and any .md / .txt file.
