Your Notes App Is a Graveyard

You capture a brilliant idea. It disappears into folders you'll never open again. Months later, you have the same thought—unaware you already wrote it down. Sound familiar?

Common Questions

How is this different from Notion or Obsidian?

Notion and Obsidian are powerful but complex. Etu does one thing well: fast capture with automatic resurfacing. No folders to organize, no graph to maintain. Just write and let the system bring ideas back when you need them.

What happens to my data?

Your notes are encrypted and stored securely. Etu is open source, so you can self-host if you prefer. You can export all your data anytime in standard formats.

Why $5/year? That seems too cheap.

We believe note-taking shouldn't be expensive. The low price keeps us focused on building a great product instead of upselling features. Plus, it's sustainable for our infrastructure costs.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes! The web app is fully responsive. We also offer API access so you can use our CLI tool or connect with other apps. Native mobile apps are on the roadmap.
