Catchlight, private notes app for iPhone

Catchlight, private notes app for iPhone

Indie Hackers

No accounts, encrypted. Private by design, not by policy.

Catchlight started as a personal frustration, I’d lost trust in my cloud provider, its notes and reminders apps. I was unable to find anything worth switching to. I wanted function and form, with total privacy and ease.
