LibreNotes

LibreNotes is a private, self-hosted note-taking app with end-to-end encryption. Your notes are stored only on your own server — no cloud accounts, no third-party services, no tracking.

Features:

- Markdown notes with live preview

- End-to-end encryption (XChaCha20-Poly1305 + Argon2id): the server never sees your plaintext or keys

- Offline-first: full local cache, works without network, syncs when your server is reachable

- Conflict resolution: if two devices edit the same note, you choose the winner

- Trash bin with restore and permanent delete

- Dark theme with orange accent

- Works on Android, Linux desktop, and web from the same codebase

The sync server is a single compiled binary you run on a home server. It binds to your LAN only. For access away from home, add devices and the server to a Tailscale or WireGuard mesh — no server changes needed.

All source code is AGPLv3. No proprietary dependencies, no Firebase, no Google Play Services.

Note: F-Droid and GitHub APKs are signed by different keys, so updates from the other source won't install over this one. Pick one source and stay with it.
