Open Note for freeBirdsuite Note is a browser-based Markdown editor by Berlin Bird Studios in Germany. Without an account, notes stay in your browser only. A free account syncs them through servers in the EU (Germany and France) and unlocks share links, real-time co-editing and a REST API. Note is completely free and shows no ads.
The problem
You just want to jot something down, and the notes app asks you to sign up first. Later the note needs to reach your phone, a colleague or a script — and that takes yet another tool.
The solution
With Note you start writing right away, no account needed; your notes stay in your browser. With a free account they live on servers in the EU (Germany and France), synced across your devices, shareable by link and scriptable through the REST API.
How it works
-
1
Open and write
Open Note and start typing, formatted or straight in Markdown. Saving is automatic.
-
2
Organise
Give notes categories, search them or jump to any note with Ctrl/Cmd+K.
-
3
Sync and share
Sign up for free: your notes are on all your devices, and you share them by link.
Features
Instant, no account
Notes live in your browser's storage and never reach our server. Export and import as a file are included.
Sync on servers in the EU (Germany and France)
With a free account your notes are the same on every device, stored in the EU (Germany and France).
REST API for scripts and AI agents
Read, create, update, delete and share notes with a personal token. Handy for automations and MCP servers.
Share by link
Anyone with the link can read the note. You can withdraw the share at any time.
Live co-editing
Anyone signed in who has the link writes along in real time. Changes show up for everyone instantly.
Formatted or Markdown
Switch between the formatted editor and the Markdown source. With checklists, tables and a table of contents.
Command palette
Ctrl/Cmd+K jumps to any note or runs a command. Categories and search keep things tidy.
Data and privacy
- Processing
- Without an account, only in your browser. With an account, on our servers in the EU (Germany and France) (Host Europe, Strasbourg, France).
- Storage
- Without an account, notes live in your browser's localStorage; clearing your browser data removes them. With an account we store title, content and category until you delete the note or your account.
- Processors
- Host Europe (Strasbourg, France) as our hosting provider. No other services.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an account?
- No. Without an account your notes stay in your browser, and you can export them as a file. You only need a free account for sync, sharing and the API.
- Where are my notes stored?
- Without an account only in your browser; they never reach our server. With an account on our servers in the EU (Germany and France) (Host Europe, Strasbourg, France).
- Can I share and co-edit notes?
- Yes, with a free account. Anyone with the link can read the note; people who are signed in can edit it live. You can withdraw the share at any time.
- Is there an API for my AI tools?
- Yes, a REST API at /api/notes with a personal token. Scripts, automations or MCP servers can list, create, update, delete and share your notes with it. The token is shown only once; creating a new one invalidates the old one.
- Are notes end-to-end encrypted?
- No. Synced notes are encrypted in transit and stored on servers in the EU (Germany and France). For passwords and other secrets, Birdsuite Seal is the better choice.
- What if I clear my browser storage?
- Then notes kept without an account are gone. Export them as a file regularly, or write with a free account so your notes are kept on the server.
- What does Note cost?
- Nothing. Note has no paid plan and shows no ads.
