NoteLace

One plan. 14 days free.

Every feature on every platform, cloud sync included. Try it free for 14 days, no card required — then €5/month, or €48/year to keep editing.

Your notes never get held hostage.

NoteLace is local-first, so everything you write lives on your machine in plain Markdown — not on our servers. If you ever cancel or your subscription lapses, editing pauses until you renew, but the rest stays exactly as it was: you can still open every note, read your whole vault, and export everything to a Markdown zip in one click. No lockouts, no read-only timer, no last-chance email. Your work is yours, full stop.

Questions, answered.

Why isn’t there a free tier?
One paid plan keeps NoteLace sustainable and lets us ship every feature to everyone — no upsells, no crippled “free” version. The 14-day trial lets you try the whole app before you pay.
What happens when the trial ends?
Editing pauses until you subscribe (€5/month or €48/year) — but nothing is locked away. You can keep reading your notes and export your whole vault to Markdown any time.
Is a card required to start?
No. The 14-day trial is completely card-free — sign up and start writing. You only add a card if you choose to subscribe.
Do I own my data? Can I export it?
Always. You write in standard Markdown, and you can export your whole vault to a Markdown zip (one .md per note) any time from Settings → Insights → Vault snapshot.
Which platforms are supported?
NoteLace runs as a desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
