Getting started

TomaNote is a minimalist, offline-first note-taking web app. It runs entirely in your browser: there are no accounts, no servers and nothing to install. Your notes are saved automatically on your own device.

Visit tomanote.app. You can start writing right away, without signing up.

  • Start typing in the editor to create a new note.
  • Use the + button in the right sidebar (desktop) or the bottom bar (mobile), or press Alt+N, to open another note in a new tab.
  • Your notes stay open as tabs, just like a browser.

  • Every note is saved automatically as you type.
  • A Saved indicator appears at the bottom-right of the editor when you pause typing (about five seconds).
  • Press Ctrl+S at any time to see instant save feedback.
  • Use tabs to manage multiple notes at once.
  • Pin your favorite tabs to keep them at hand (Alt+P).
  • Search all your notes with the command palette (Ctrl+K).

TomaNote is an installable progressive web app:

  • In the browser address bar, click the install icon (Chrome/Edge) or use the browser menu.
  • On mobile, use Add to Home screen.
  • Once installed, TomaNote opens in its own window and works offline, thanks to a service worker.
