Your notes, everywhere. No app store required.

Open your browser. Tap “Add to Home Screen.” That's it. A full app that looks and feels native - no store, no download, no manual updates.

The app store tax

Most note-taking apps require an App Store download - a 300 MB install, an account, permissions, and updates. By the time you're ready to write, the thought is gone. There has to be a better way.

A real app, from your browser

Cimanote is a Progressive Web App. Visit the URL, tap “Add to Home Screen,” and you have a standalone app with its own icon, splash screen, and full-screen experience. It launches instantly, works offline, and updates itself in the background.

One codebase. Every platform. Always the latest version.

Works on everything

  • iPhone / iPad (iOS)
  • Android (Android)
  • macOS (Mac)
  • Windows (PC)
  • ChromeOS (Chromebook)
  • Linux (Linux)

Built for your thumbs

Bottom navigation keeps every action within reach. The editor is touch-optimized with large tap targets, smooth scrolling, and a responsive layout that adapts from a 4-inch phone to a 27-inch monitor.

Bottom navigation

Notebooks, search, and settings are always one thumb-tap away.

Touch-optimized editor

Large toolbar buttons, swipe gestures, and smooth selection handles.

Responsive layout

Sidebar on desktop, full-screen on mobile. The same app adapts to your screen.

How people use it

Commuter

Priya

Opens the app on the subway and edits her meeting prep. No signal underground? Doesn't matter. Notes sync the moment she surfaces.

Student on a budget

Marcus

Uses an older Android phone and a school Chromebook. Same app on both devices, same experience. Zero friction.

Freelancer

Anika

MacBook at her desk, iPad on the couch. Cimanote feels native on both - bottom nav on tablet, full layout on desktop.

Field worker

David

Takes notes at construction sites with no WiFi. Everything syncs when he gets back to the office. Never loses a detail.

The old way vs. Cimanote

Pain point Traditional apps Cimanote
Download size 100 - 500 MB Under 5 MB
Updates Manual from store Invisible, automatic
Platform availability Separate apps per OS One URL, every device
Install process App Store account required Visit URL, tap install

Why people switch

  • Evernote: Bloated 300 MB download, separate apps for each platform
  • Notion: Sluggish mobile experience, heavy Electron desktop app
  • Apple Notes: Apple devices only, no Windows or Android
  • Google Keep: Too simple for serious note-taking, limited formatting
  • Obsidian: Requires separate sync setup, no native mobile PWA

Free on every device

The PWA install, mobile experience, and offline reading are free for every account. Upgrade to Pro for offline editing and priority sync.
