About PrivNotepad
Protecting digital privacy for everyone, everywhere — since 2024
Our Story
PrivNotepad was founded in 2024 with a simple but powerful mission: make online privacy accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise or financial resources. In a world where data breaches affect billions of users annually and online tracking has become ubiquitous, we saw an urgent need for free, easy-to-use privacy tools that actually respect user privacy.
What started as a simple encrypted notepad for personal use quickly evolved into a comprehensive suite of 55+ professional-grade privacy tools. Our founder, a cybersecurity professional frustrated by expensive and complicated privacy solutions, built the first version of PrivNotepad in just a few weeks. When friends and colleagues started asking to use it, we realized there was a much larger need.
Today, PrivNotepad serves over 15,000 monthly active users across 120+ countries. From journalists protecting their sources to developers securing API keys, from students safeguarding research notes to enterprise teams sharing sensitive information securely — PrivNotepad has become a trusted name in digital privacy.
And the best part? We remain completely free. No premium tiers, no hidden fees, no paywalls. Because we believe privacy is a fundamental human right, not a luxury for those who can afford it.

Our Commitment to You
Zero-Knowledge Architecture: We operate on a strict zero-knowledge principle. All encryption happens locally on your device. Your passwords, your notes, your sensitive data — never touch our servers in an unencrypted form. Even we cannot read your information.
No Logs Policy: We don't log your IP address, browser fingerprint, or any identifying information. When you use PrivNotepad, your visit is completely anonymous. We couldn't track you even if we wanted to — because we don't store anything.
Open Source Transparency: Our core encryption libraries are open source and regularly audited. Anyone can verify that we do exactly what we claim. No backdoors. No hidden data collection. Just honest privacy tools.
100% Free Forever: We will never charge for our core tools. No premium tiers, no feature paywalls, no credit card required. Privacy is a right, not a privilege.
