Military-grade encrypted notes app that keeps your data 100% offline and private. No cloud, no tracking, no accounts needed. AES-256 encryption protects your thoughts from Big Tech surveillance.
🚀 Hey Product Hunt!
Your thoughts are being compromised, do you ever get tired of having every move you make be monitored? That's why I built and am sharing Dash, the note‑taking app that keeps every thought 100 % offline, encrypted and entirely under your control.
Why Dash?
Offline only & no cloud - Your notes never leave your device.
Military‑grade AES‑256‑GCM encryption - The same security you’d use for sensitive files protects every word.
Rich block editing - Headers, lists, quotes, code blocks and even multi‑block operations let you write like a pro without compromising your security.
Folders, tags and search - Organize freely with color‑coded tags or folders, and find what you need instantly.
Individual page passwords & encrypted exports - Lock single notes or share encrypted bundles between devices - no server required.
Three themes (Light, Dark, Green Terminal) – A distraction‑free UI that looks great on desktop and any screen size.
One‑time purchase – No subscription, no hidden fees; buy it once and keep using it forever.
It's fast, reliable and future‑proof.
Who it’s for
Writers, researchers, journalists, security conscious people who need rich formatting without a cloud lock‑in.
Security professionals requiring encrypted note storage.
Anyone who values privacy over convenience and wants full ownership of their data.

Love that my notes never leave my device. As someone who journals daily, having rich formatting without a cloud dependency is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Congrats on the launch
I strongly support privacy-first software and Dash looks quite nice on the first look. What sets Dash apart from Notesnook which I regularly use? Their search is not the best experience so would like to know if it's worth the switch @oefez
