Every version is kept
Each edit keeps the version before it. If you break something or cut too much, the old draft is still there.

How it works
From noted to done, in three steps
1
Note it
The global hotkey Ctrl+Alt+N brings up a slip. Press Enter and it's saved to Notes; the window goes away on its own. Screenshots paste straight in.
2
Sort it
In Notes, tag it or turn it into a task. Every edit keeps the previous version, so old drafts can be recovered; deleting puts it in Trash first, and you can restore it any time.
3
Get it done
To do, In progress, To confirm, Done. Drag tasks along; finished ones go to Archive, where you can look them up but not delete them.
Small things
Small things you use every day
Deleting goes to Trash first
Restore any time. Deleting for good only happens inside Trash.
Archive is a record
Finished tasks go to Archive, where you can look them up but not delete them. Look back and see what you got done.
Your own board columns
Add, rename or remove them on the desktop. As many columns as your process has steps.
Keep work and life apart
Each space is its own notebook, kept apart. Type /space in the slip to switch.
Hands on the keyboard
Every action on a card has a single key; ] and [ move it one column forward or back.
Take it with you
On desktop, export a whole space to Markdown in one go, images and comments included; any editor can open it.
Yours
What you write stays with you
Data on your own devices
It lives in a SQLite database on your own device and works offline. Sync is optional: text and images are encrypted on your device before they leave, so the server only ever handles ciphertext.
No analytics
With sync off, builds downloaded from zhujian.app only check it for updates; store builds contact nothing at all.
No AI touching your words
No polishing, no summaries, no auto-sorting. What you write is what stays.
Ready to use
Give it a try
Windows and Android are the supported builds; once installed they check for new versions and prompt you. The HarmonyOS build is on Huawei AppGallery, which handles its updates. macOS and Linux are early builds.
Early build macOS (Apple silicon) and Linux (x86_64): unsigned, so allow them by hand on first launch; on Linux the hotkey and tray may be incomplete on some desktops. Download dmg AppImage .deb

Desktop updates are signed by the developer and checked before installing; the Windows installer is not code-signed, so the first install warns about an “unknown publisher” — choose “More info → Run anyway” · On Windows it lives in the tray; bring it up with the hotkey · On Android, allow “unknown sources” on first install; updates also take a tap to install · Questions?
