Everything LiveNote does

LiveNote is a real-time notepad you share with a link. This page is the honest, complete list of what it ships today; each item below is live in the product right now.

Writing and editing

One page, four ways to write on it. Switch modes any time; the note autosaves in whichever mode you prefer.

  • Rich text editor with headings, lists, quotes, and images
  • Markdown mode for keyboard-first writing
  • Plain text for zero-friction notes
  • Code mode with syntax highlighting in 20+ languages
  • Tables and tickable checklists inside notes
  • Live word and character count, with reading time
  • Autosave with a visible Saving… / Saved status

Real-time collaboration

Built for the moment two or more people are on the same page at once.

  • 01Edits appear live for everyone viewing the note
  • 02Named cursors show who is typing where
  • 03Presence dots and a live viewer count
  • 04Optional viewer name gate so collaborators identify themselves
  • 05Works in the browser with no plugins or installs

Sharing and permissions

A link is all it takes; you decide what the link allows.

  • Share links that are read-only or editable
  • One-time links and burn-after-reading links
  • Password-protected shares
  • Share links with expiry dates and view limits
  • QR code for handing the link to the room
  • Editable, human-readable note URLs you can rename any time; old links keep working via redirect

Privacy and security

Your notes are yours. The defaults are safe, and the stronger options are one click away.

  • 01End-to-end encryption: AES-256-GCM in your browser; the server stores only ciphertext
  • 02Note passwords hashed with argon2id
  • 03Lock the URL, the content, or the whole note against edits
  • 04CSRF protection, XSS sanitization, and rate limiting built in
  • 05Anonymous notes need no account and leave no email behind
  • 06Optional accounts with TOTP two-factor authentication

Organizing and finding

One note is easy. Fifty need a system, and LiveNote ships one.

  • Dashboard with recent, favorites, archived, and trash views
  • Tags and folders
  • Full-text search across your notes
  • Star notes from other people to keep them close
  • Command palette (Ctrl/⌘ + K) for jumping anywhere
