faq
Questions, answered
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and start writing. There is no sign-up, email or password.
Where are my notes stored?
In your own browser, on your device. Notes are never uploaded or synced. The only exception is when you ask AI for help: the text you choose goes straight to the AI provider you picked, using your own key.
Does it have AI?
Yes, only when you ask, with your own OpenAI, Google or Anthropic key. Select a few lines and type what you want (“add a few bullets and fix grammar”), or summarize, make a checklist and keep writing. Your key is encrypted and never leaves your browser except to go to that provider.
What if I clear my browser data?
Clearing site data removes your notes too. Make a backup from Settings → Data first, and you can restore it anytime.
Can I move my notes to another device?
Yes. Create a backup file on one device, then use Import Backup on the other. Notes, categories and preferences all come along.
Are there templates?
Yes, 21 and all free: daily and weekly planners, meeting notes, project plans, OKRs, a habit tracker, journal, trip planner, budget and more. Pick one when you start a note, or just write.
Can I change how it looks?
Yes. Choose between two layouts, where your text sits (left, centered or full width), and light or dark mode, all from Settings.
Is TakeMyNote open source?
Yes. TakeMyNote is free and open source under the MIT license. The full source code is on GitHub, linked at the bottom of this page.
Can I export my notes?
Yes. Download any note as PDF, Markdown, plain text, HTML or JSON, or print it. A full backup of everything is one JSON file you can restore anywhere.
