Notyra vs Turtl

Notyra is note-taking software designed for offline use and local storage. The app works fully offline, with data kept on the user's machine. The site describes its encryption as zero-knowledge and says AES-256 encryption takes place entirely on the device. Optional cloud sync is encrypted and also described as zero-knowledge, so sync is not required for use. The editor supports Markdown, code blocks, and checklists. Notyra is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The site says every line of code is auditable and that no account is required to begin. Its plan is free forever at free. The listed capabilities focus on note creation, offline access, device-based storage, encryption, and optional sync.

Turtl is a collaborative notebook for organizing bookmarks, passwords, files, shopping lists, and other notes. It supports text, bookmark, password, image, and document notes, with full-text search, tag filtering, Markdown, and TeX math rendering. Users can create Spaces, choose collaborators, and set permissions from read-only access through full ownership. Turtl says data is encrypted in the app before leaving the device, using keys derived from the user's email and password. Shared items get separate random keys, so recipients can unlock only the item shared with them. The service warns that an intercepted email invitation could expose a shared Space if its secret is not communicated separately. Users can import or export their full profile for backup or migration, and can install the open-source server to host their own data. Listed platforms include Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, with Chrome and Firefox bookmarking extensions; offline access is supported. Premium costs $3/mo and includes 10GB note data and 10 collaborators per Space; Business costs $8/mo and includes 50GB and dedicated support.
