🚀 Hey Product Hunt! Your thoughts are being compromised, do you ever get tired of having every move you make be monitored? That's why I built and am sharing Dash, the note‑taking app that keeps every thought 100 % offline, encrypted and entirely under your control. Why Dash? Offline only & no cloud - Your notes never leave your device. Military‑grade AES‑256‑GCM encryption - The same security you’d use for sensitive files protects every word. Rich block editing - Headers, lists, quotes, code blocks and even multi‑block operations let you write like a pro without compromising your security. Folders, tags and search - Organize freely with color‑coded tags or folders, and find what you need instantly. Individual page passwords & encrypted exports - Lock single notes or share encrypted bundles between devices - no server required. Three themes (Light, Dark, Green Terminal) – A distraction‑free UI that looks great on desktop and any screen size. One‑time purchase – No subscription, no hidden fees; buy it once and keep using it forever. It's fast, reliable and future‑proof. Who it’s for Writers, researchers, journalists, security conscious people who need rich formatting without a cloud lock‑in. Security professionals requiring encrypted note storage. Anyone who values privacy over convenience and wants full ownership of their data. 💡 Try it now: – No sign‑up, just open Dash and start writing. 🔧 Open source on GitHub: – Feel free to contribute or fork for your own use. I’d love to hear what you think! Drop a comment or give an upvote if privacy matters to you. 🚀

I strongly support privacy-first software and Dash looks quite nice on the first look. What sets Dash apart from Notesnook which I regularly use? Their search is not the best experience so would like to know if it's worth the switch @oefez

@jim_engine They seem awesome too but we have a global search across all pages, folders and tags the user creates. Also from what I can see they limit the number of notebooks, tags and exports the user can create, we don't its unlimited access with Dash. There's pros and cons for both so its up to you but love that they also are open source!

Love that my notes never leave my device. As someone who journals daily, having rich formatting without a cloud dependency is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Congrats on the launch
