Laverna – keep your notes private

Last Updated on November 21, 2024

Laverna is a simple to use, open source JavaScript note-taking web application with a Markdown editor and encryption support. It’s built to be an open source alternative to Evernote, a suite of software and services, designed for notetaking and archiving.

The application stores all your notes in your browser local storage spaces such as indexedDB or localStorage, which is good for security reasons, because all of your information is stored only client-side.

Laverna can be used locally or hosted online without any other server-side JavaScript technology. The source code is available on GitHub.

Features include:

• Markdown editor based on Pagedown.
• Manage your notes, even when you are offline.
• Secure – client side encryption with SJCL library and AES algorithm.
• Synchronizes with cloud storage services. Dropbox and RemoteStorage are supported.
• Three editing modes: distraction free, preview, and normal mode.
• WYSIWYG control buttons.
• MathJax support.
• Syntax highlighting.
• No registration required.
• Web based – no installation required.
• Profiles.
• Support for tasks.
• Export (to JSON) / Import options.
• Search notes.
• Configurable keyboard shortcuts for navigation, jump, actions, and app.
• Support for mobile devices out of the box.
• Internationalization support: English, Russian, Dutch, French, Brazilian Portuguese.
