Sync & widgets

Start on your phone, finish on your computer

Sign in on each device and your notes follow you. Sofora works offline and syncs when you're back. If you edit the same note on two devices, both sets of changes are kept.

  • Everything syncs: folders, notes, diaries, covers, pictures, recordings and the recycle bin.
  • Home-screen widgets on Android phones and tablets, as many as you like, each with its own note.
  • Sticky notes on Windows: pin notes to your desktop, keep them on top, and they're back after a restart.
  • Live updates: write on the phone and the pinned note on your PC changes.

Private by design

Your thoughts are yours alone

Private notes are encrypted on your device. When they sync, they're encrypted end to end with a passphrase only you know, so even we can't read them.

PIN & fingerprint locks

Lock any note, diary or folder. Locked items hide their preview and lock again when you leave the app.

A hidden vault

A secret space that's invisible everywhere in the app until you open it.

Encrypted on the device

Locked notes, their pictures and recordings use AES-256, with the key in the phone's secure Keystore.

End-to-end encrypted sync

Private notes only sync with your passphrase. The server stores ciphertext, never your words.

Never on your home screen

A widget for a private note only shows a lock, until you unlock it.

No peeking, even for us

Our admins only ever see counts, sizes and dates, never what you wrote.
