Your notes,
your space.
Notestra is a lightweight notes app for people who want to own their ideas. EU-based, encrypted at rest, and available everywhere — web and Android.
Free while Notestra is in alpha, Premium features included. No payment details, nothing to cancel. What happens after the alpha
Everything a focused
note-taker needs.
Notestra keeps things simple — just the tools that matter, with no bloat in between.
Servers and data stay in the EU under European privacy law. No transatlantic data transfers, no surprise jurisdictions.
The same account works on your desktop browser and on Android via the native Expo app.
Notes are AES-encrypted with your own 32-byte key. No key, no read — even for the server operator.
Organize notes across multiple boards and tag them for quick filtering. Premium users get unlimited workspaces.
Export every note as markdown in a ZIP on any plan, free of charge. Premium adds imports from Google Keep and Notestra archives.
Manage your profile, language, theme, and subscription from one tidy settings panel.
Free today. €1.50 later, and we'll say when.
Notestra is in open alpha. Every account gets the complete app, every Premium feature and no limits, for free, and there is nothing to buy: Premium is not for sale yet. That will change, because hosting, backups and email cost money and Notestra has no ads, no investors and no plans to sell your data. The whole plan is written out below.
What we intend to charge, and when
- Today, during the alpha: Everything is free for everyone. No payment details are collected, because there is nothing to pay for.
- When the alpha ends: Premium becomes a paid plan at €1.50 per month, or €15 for 12 months. The Starter plan stays free and keeps the core of the app (notes, tags, sync across web and Android, full export) with a limit of 20 active notes and one board.
- You will hear about it first: We will announce the end of the alpha on the website and by email to every registered account, well before anything changes. Nobody is ever charged automatically: paying requires you to actively subscribe.
- If you do nothing: Your account continues on the Starter plan. Nothing is deleted, and your notes stay yours and stay exportable, whatever you decide.
No date is fixed yet, and the prices above are our intention, not a binding offer. There is nothing to buy today. If they change before we open payments, this text changes with them.
The core of Notestra with sensible limits for casual use. This is the plan you fall back to when the alpha ends.
- Up to 20 active notes
- Single board workspace
- Sync across web + Android
- Full notes export, always free
