A local-first, zero-cloud, peer sync wiki for friends and family
Footnote keeps your notes on your devices and syncs directly with people you trust. No cloud, no vendor lock-in.
How It Works
Your Notes Stay Yours
Write in markdown. Link between notes with simple bracket syntax. Your notes are just files on your device.
Sync Without Servers
Your devices connect directly to each other.
Share With Trust
Choose exactly who sees what. Export your contact info, import theirs, tag notes to share. Direct peer-to-peer, not public posting.
