In their own words
Supernotes
Supernotes is a note-taking app that organizes ideas, records, tasks, and lists as digital notecards. Cards can include equations, tables, images, checklists, and emojis, with a soft limit of 1,200 characters. Users can tag, nest, and link cards, search them, and explore their connections with graph views. The apps work offline and merge changes and sync when a device reconnects. Cards can be shared for read-only access or collaborative editing in real time. Supernotes imports from Obsidian, Roam Research, Google Keep, Notion, or Markdown, and exports notes as PDF, JSON, or Markdown. It offers an API and lists integrations including Telegram, Raycast, Pipedream, email, SupaSend, and Funnel. The company says notes are encrypted in transit with SSL and at rest with AES-256, and staff do not access note content without express permission during support. The free Starter plan lists 100 cards. Unlimited costs £6 a month, billed as £72 billed annually, and includes unlimited cards, AI Superpowers, full API and integrations, and priority support.
Turtl
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.
