Introducing NotesQR – Secure, Encrypted, Anonymous Note-Taking (No Sign-Up, No Tracking)

[NotesQR]

Hi everyone 👋,

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been building: GitHub NotesQR – a privacy-first, encrypted note-taking app designed to help you manage sensitive information without giving up your personal data.

📌 Why NotesQR?

I got tired of people storing important notes in unprotected plain text files, or using apps that claim to be private while collecting tons of metadata. So I built a tool that:

Requires no sign-up, no email, no phone number

Uses AES-256 end-to-end encryption

Implements zero-knowledge architecture (we can’t see your data)

Secures access using TOTP-based 2FA, not passwords

Lets you organize notes with folders, tags, stars

No tracking, no cookies only Google Analytics to track basic interactions to improve user experience.

Is 100% anonymous – even the container URLs are private

Is open source

🛡️ Built for journalists, healthcare professionals, crypto lovers, developers, or anyone who wants peace of mind knowing their private notes stay private.

🔗 You can try it now: NotesQR
