Overview

What it is

Military-grade encrypted notes app that keeps your data 100% offline and private. No cloud, no tracking, no accounts needed. AES-256 encryption protects your thoughts from Big Tech surveillance.

Intent

I need it when

Protect sensitive personal notes from corporate surveillance and data breaches

Dash uses AES-256-GCM encryption with zero-knowledge architecture so even the company cannot read notes. All encryption happens locally on device with no cloud uploads, eliminating exposure to corporate data collection or breaches.

Create temporary notes that automatically disappear after a set time

Self-destructing notes feature allows users to set pages to auto-delete after 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days with a live countdown badge. Useful for temporary briefs, meeting notes, or sensitive information that should not persist.

Write and organize thoughts offline without internet dependency

Dash stores all notes locally on the device with no internet requirement. Users can access notes on planes, remote locations, or during connectivity outages. Wiki-style page linking and folders enable knowledge organization entirely offline.

Use local AI for note summarization and brainstorming without sending data to external servers

Dash integrates with local AI models (Ollama, LM Studio, LocalAI) running on localhost. Users can summarize, rewrite, expand, and chat with notes while maintaining complete privacy—no API keys or external transmission required.

Secure sensitive information with biometric and password protection

Dash offers Touch ID unlock, auto-lock after inactivity, and per-page encryption. Decoy password feature creates a convincing empty app state to hide real notes, ideal for journalists, activists, and users on shared devices.
