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

01

Your Notes Stay Yours

Write in markdown. Link between notes with simple bracket syntax. Your notes are just files on your device.

02

Sync Without Servers

Your devices connect directly to each other.

03

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.
