About this app

NoteBerg is a privacy-first note-taking app for handwriting, rich text,
and PDF annotation - with optional Nextcloud sync.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS

works with a Nextcloud server you control. We have no servers, no accounts,
no cloud of our own.

Unlimited undo/redo

RICH TEXT EDITING
WYSIWYG text editor with formatting, tables, colors and font sizes
Task checkboxes inline with notes

PDF & IMAGES

Export notes as PDF with A4 pagination

ORGANIZATION

SYNC & SECURITY

Optional master password with PBKDF2 + AES-256-GCM encryption
Conflict resolution for concurrent edits
Nextcloud credentials stored in the Android Keystore, never in plaintext

OPEN SOURCE
NoteBerg is fully open source (MIT license). You can review the source
code on GitHub: https://github.com/thomasleuthold/NoteBerg

NoteBerg is currently in beta and has not undergone a formal security
audit - please avoid storing highly sensitive data. Feedback and bug
reports are welcome via GitHub Issues.

Note: automatic handwriting recognition currently requires a local
Windows recognition service and is not available on Android; handwriting,
drawing, rich text, PDF annotation and sync all work fully on Android.
