PenPage — AI speaks Markdown

Why PenPage?

PenPage is a privacy-first note-taking app that keeps your data on your device — not on our servers. Write in real WYSIWYG Markdown with instant formatting, no split-pane preview needed.

• Privacy First — Your notes are stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB. We never see, access, or store your content.
• Real WYSIWYG Markdown — Type Markdown and see beautifully formatted results instantly. Headings, bold, italic, code blocks, lists, and more — all rendered in real time.
• No Account Required — Start writing immediately. No sign-up, no email verification, no passwords.
• Completely Free — No ads, no subscriptions, no premium tiers. Every feature is available to everyone.

Features

• Real WYSIWYG Markdown Editing — Type naturally with Markdown shortcuts and see formatted output as you write. Supports headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, code blocks, lists, links, images, and more.

• Export & Backup — Export your notes anytime as Markdown files or full backups. Your data is never locked in.

PenPage vs Other Note-Taking Apps

Unlike cloud-based note apps like Notion, Google Keep, or Evernote, PenPage stores everything locally on your device. There's no server that can be breached, no company that can read your notes, and no subscription that can expire. If you value privacy and own your data, PenPage is built for you.

Compared to Obsidian, PenPage offers a true WYSIWYG experience — you see formatted text as you type, with no separate preview pane. And unlike most Markdown editors, PenPage works entirely in your browser with zero installation required.
