Daynote main window: a July 2026 calendar and the day's note list on the left, the note editor in the middle, and To-do and Files tabs on the right.

Dates, not folders.

Most memories come attached to a "when": the meeting last Tuesday, the file you received yesterday, what you need to finish today. Daynote uses that as its structure. Each day on the calendar is a workspace, and notes, to-dos, and files all gather under its date.

No folder names to invent, no tag taxonomy to maintain. Click a date and the day opens. Search, and you jump straight to whichever day it was.

Features

Few things, used every day.

  1. Type it in the note. It becomes a to-do.

    Write -[] in a note body and it turns into a checkbox. Add a due time like (7/27 14:00). The To-do tab on the right gathers items from every date, grouped by day, and overdue ones turn red.

  2. Files stay with their day

    Drop files onto the Files tab, or paste an image or file into the body: it is stored as that day's file and only a one-line link stays in the text. Click the link and it opens in the Files tab. When you later need "that document I got", the date is all you have to remember.

  3. Titles, bodies, and files in one search

    One search box covers note titles and bodies, attachment names, and dates. Short queries work as typed, including one or two Korean characters, and each result deep-links to exactly that note or item.

  4. One keystroke, even from the tray

    Daynote lives in the tray. Global shortcuts summon it from anywhere or drop a sticky note onto today, and every in-app shortcut can be rebound in settings.

And also

  • Timeline view Instead of paging day by day, unroll your notes in date order and skim them in one pass.
  • Sticky notes Pop a note out into a small always-on-top window. The sticky and the body edit together in real time.
  • Tags and favorites Tag notes, and #hashtags in the body are recognized automatically. Notes you keep coming back to live in the Favorites tab.
  • AI integration (MCP) Let an MCP client such as Claude Desktop read and write your notes. Off until you register it yourself.
  • Backup and restore Export everything to a single file from settings and restore it later. Updates and reinstalls keep your data in place.
  • Light and dark Follow the Windows theme or switch with one key. The UI ships in English and Korean.

Cloud sync

The same day, on every PC.

Want to pick up at home what you wrote at work? Sign in with your Google account and your notes and to-dos stay identical on every PC you sign in to. Leave it off and Daynote stays exactly as local as it is today.

Sync is a paid subscription. A 14-day free trial is granted once at sign-up; after that it is $2.49 a month or $19.99 a year. Sync propagates, it does not back up: delete on one PC and it is gone on all of them, so keep backups with the backup feature in settings.

Pricing

  1. 1
    Sign in with Google

    No new password to invent. Sign in to Google in your system browser and you are done.

  2. 2
    14-day free trial

    Starts at sign-up, no card required. When it ends only the syncing stops; no note is deleted anywhere.

  3. 3
    An encrypted copy, locked if you want

    Encrypted in transit and at rest. To make it unreadable to the service too, turn on "Lock my notes": a passphrase only you know becomes the key, and the recovery key is the only way back if you forget it.

  4. 4
    Cancel any time

    When a subscription ends, syncing stops. Nothing else happens: the notes on this PC stay, and the copy already uploaded is kept.

Privacy

Your PC by default.
Only what you switch on leaves.

Daynote has no telemetry. Notes and files are stored in a local folder only your Windows account can read, and until you sign in the app opens no internet connection. Exactly two things can carry content off this PC, and you switch on both yourself: cloud sync and the AI integration.

Read the full privacy policy
  • CollectedNo usage statistics, no crash reports. With sync on, the service holds your Google account id and email, and when each note last changed.
  • Stored at%LocalAppData%\Daynote on your PC. Plain files the app does not encrypt, so you can back them up yourself at any time.
  • BackgroundNo clipboard monitoring, no keystroke logging, no screenshots. It only acts on what you do inside the app.
  • Cloud copyEncrypted in transit and at rest. By default the service also holds the key, so this is not end-to-end encryption. Turn on "Lock my notes" in settings and the key is re-sealed with a passphrase only you know, and the service destroys its copy.
  • PaymentDaynote never sees your card. Checkout happens on a page run by Paddle, the merchant of record; the service receives only a subscription status and a renewal date.
