Rolello
Notes kept as plain Markdown files, synced end-to-end encrypted between Mac and PC.
About
Rolello is a notes app for the Mac, built for people who want to capture a thought the instant it happens rather than wait for an app to open. Every note is a plain Markdown file kept in a folder you choose, so it stays readable in any text editor, today and later.
A global keyboard shortcut opens a quick capture window from anywhere on the Mac, and search answers as you type, so an older note surfaces as fast as a new one. Rolello is free to download, ready for the first note immediately.
Sync connects a Mac and a Windows PC over a private, end-to-end encrypted channel, set up from inside the app with a 24-word phrase. It keeps notes current across both machines without adding an account step to the setup.
Instant open
Rolello opens right away, so writing something down happens instantly. Press the global shortcut on the Mac and a capture window appears from any other app, ready for the next thought.
Plain Markdown files
Every note is stored as a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose on your Mac, not locked into a proprietary format. Open it in any text editor, now or years from now.
Private sync to Windows
Sync keeps a Mac and a Windows PC current with each other over a connection set up from inside the app with a 24-word phrase. The channel is end-to-end encrypted.
Search that answers as you type
Search surfaces the right note as you type, so finding something written months ago takes about as long as writing a new one.
