The softest binding
Sync is a service, not a hold. Your notes stay plain markdown files on your own disk. If the service stops, the price changes, or you simply leave, your vault is untouched.
Real-time collaboration on a server that cannot read your notes
Live cursors and shared editing in your own vault, where the server carrying every keystroke holds only ciphertext it has no key for.

Tie the young vine with a soft binding, and it must never bite.
Check the ties again after the rain.
Two people in one note. Their names travel with their cursors, and the server between them holds only ciphertext.
A server that cannot read you
Notes are encrypted on your device with a key derived from a password we never receive. Document names are HMACs rather than paths, so filenames do not reach us either.
Checkable, not just claimed
The plugin ships as readable JavaScript — the file that runs is the file you can inspect. Every release carries the SHA-256 of that file and the source it was built from.
Pricing
Collaboration you pay for. Privacy you don't.
Billing
Paying for the year saves 17–20%. Same plan, same terms.
Switch to annual to pay less for the same plan.

Not a reduced version of a paid plan, and it does not expire. A collaboration tool whose free tier only fits one person cannot demonstrate the only thing it does.

What it does not claim
It has not been audited. It is designed to be — publishing the client is the whole point — but no external review has been carried out, and saying otherwise would be the kind of claim this project exists to avoid.
It does not hide metadata. The server can see that you have an account, who you share folders with, how much you store and when you were connected. Traffic analysis is real, and encryption does not solve it.
dum novella vinea est, quam mollissimo nectenda est
While the vine is young, it must be tied with the softest possible binding.
