Privacy Without Compromise

Google Docs is powerful, but everything you type is stored on Google's servers and processed for various purposes. Windows Notepad is private but lacks formatting. MiOffice Notes gives you the best of both: a full-featured editor that stores everything locally in your browser. When you share, it syncs peer-to-peer over WebRTC with end-to-end encryption. No server sees your text. No corporation mines your documents. No account ties your writing to your identity.

Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+B (bold), Ctrl+I (italic), Ctrl+K (link), Ctrl+Shift+7 (numbered list), Ctrl+Shift+8 (bullet list), Ctrl+Shift+9 (code block). Mac users: replace Ctrl with Cmd.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export my text to a file?

Yes. Export as plain text, Markdown (.md), or copy the formatted HTML. Your content, your format, your choice.

Does it support tables?

Yes. The rich text editor includes table creation and editing. You can also write Markdown tables that render as formatted tables.

Is there a character or word limit?

No hard limit. Notes are stored in your browser's local storage, which typically supports 5-10MB — enough for thousands of pages of text.

Can two people edit the same document at once?

Yes. Share a P2P link and both people can edit simultaneously. Changes sync in real time using Yjs CRDTs — no conflicts, no overwriting. No account needed for either person.

Which programming languages are supported for syntax highlighting?

JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, HTML, CSS, JSON, Rust, Go, Java, C/C++, SQL, and more. The editor auto-detects the language from the code content.
