Sharing with people

Share a note or a whole notebook with someone you trust, end-to-end encrypted, with no accounts or links.

Share a note, or a whole notebook

Plan a trip together, keep a shared shopping list, or hand over the meeting notes. Choose Share in a note’s menu or a notebook’s menu, and the other person gets every change, on every one of their devices.

A note's menu, with Share
  1. Share is in every note’s menu, and in every notebook’s.
Accept a shared note: sharing needs Backup & sync on your devices and theirs
To accept, choose Accept a shared note… and paste the code. Sharing works between people who both use Backup & sync.

How it works

  1. Name the person. Give them a nickname. Only your devices ever see it.
  2. Send the code. Jotry gives you a code to send however you like: a message, an email, in person. It works once, within one hour.
  3. They accept it. They paste the code in Jotry, and the note or notebook appears on all their devices.

There are no accounts to look up and no public links that anyone could open.

Private, even when shared

Leaving and stopping

The person who shared can invite others, remove people, or stop sharing. Anyone else can leave. Either way, everyone keeps a private copy of what was shared, and when someone leaves the share moves on to a new key.
