Rich Text & Markdown

Bring Your Own Key

In local and browser modes, your API key stays on your device for privacy and control.

Collections

Organise notes into named collections with multi-document tab support.

Diagrams & Code

Render Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams natively. Colored code blocks powered by Shiki.

PDF & Markdown Export

Export any note to a clean PDF or portable Markdown file with one click, your content stays yours.

Three Deployment Modes

Run as a ~10 MB desktop app, open in any browser with IndexedDB, or cloud-backed storage.

Ultra-Lightweight

Tauri replaces Chromium with the system webview, producing a ~10 MB binary.

Tables & Images

Insert rich tables with full formatting and embed images directly into notes.

Privacy by Default

Local-first architecture means your notes never touch a server unless you use cloud mode.

Run it your way

fylepad works across three modes—same interface, same features, different storage. Pick what fits your workflow.

Local Desktop

~10 MB Tauri app backed by SQLite. Everything lives on your machine, no network, no account required.

Local Browser

Open in any modern browser, no install needed. IndexedDB keeps notes in the browser itself.

Cloud Backed

Log in to sync notes across all your devices. AI is routed server-side for Pro users.

AI that helps when you ask. Silent when you don't.

fylepad's AI only works when you ask it to, preserving your authorship and keeping you in control.
