Keep scrolling to follow a note from the filesystem to a fully offline workspace.
Each note is a real Markdown file. Inspect it, back it up, or place it in a folder your own sync service already covers.
Portable by defaultLaya Notes needs no login or cloud database. Your writing is never uploaded because there is nowhere in the product to upload it to.
Nothing to sign intoDownload the local model once—about 1.6 GB—and Laya Notes keeps tagging and organizing without an internet connection.
