The cloud is yours. So is the key.

Fast Memo has no login and no central database. Notes leave your device encrypted and go where you decide: not even the person who built the app can see them.

  • Your own Firebase

    Create a free Google Firebase project by following the guide. The data lives in your account and you share it with no one.

  • Your own server

    FastMemo Server, open source, runs on your PC, NAS or Raspberry Pi. No dependence on Google, no data shared, and you set the limits.

  • End-to-end encryption

    Notes are encrypted on your device with a password only you know. What reaches the cloud is unreadable.

All included

Lists, kanban, code. No Pro plan.

Most apps give you plain notes for free and charge for the rest. Here every note type is included, and your categories sit in the left sidebar: one tap to switch folders.

  • Text notes

    Headings, lists, images and formatting, from the toolbar at the bottom. For notes, drafts and thoughts that need more than one line.

  • To-do lists

    Tick items off, drag them into order and see at a glance how many are left.

    Columns and cards you move with a finger: a house move, a launch, the week ahead.
