We got tired of bouncing between a note-taking app and a task tracker. Notion combines them but it's slow and its offline capabilities are limited. Linear is fast but tasks-only. Obsidian is local-first and e2ee but single-player. So we're building Notello - notes and tasks in one deeply nestable tree, real-time multiplayer, works offline, e2e encrypted.
Reads/writes hit local SQLite first, sync happens in the background. That way everything is instant, you don't notice the network except in some very special use cases. Runs on web and desktop with shared core logic.
We're building it for powerusers like us who want IDE-like navigation, block editor, control over their data, granular sharing down to individual entries and more. Your work workspace and personal workspace live side by side, no switching workplaces.
Old website that needs refreshing (we failed to build it beyond an MVP a decade ago but armed with more experience, we're giving it our best this time): https://notello.com . Launching within the next few months!
