Shared notes, still private.
Most encrypted notes apps are built for one person. Jotura lets you share a folder or a single note with the people you choose, everyone edits, and it all stays end-to-end encrypted.
Built for a household, a team, a project.
A folder, or a single note.
Share your whole recipes folder with your partner, or one project note with a colleague. Everyone you invite sees it in their own vault, on desktop and phone, and everyone can edit.
Edits merge on their own.
Two people writing in the same note at the same time is fine. Simultaneous changes reconcile automatically, and nobody's words get silently lost.
Encrypted to exactly those people.
Shared notes stay end-to-end encrypted, to you and the people you invited and nobody else. The server relaying your edits cannot read a word of them.
Who changed what, for three years.
Every shared note keeps its version history with attribution. See what changed, who changed it, and bring anything back with one click.
Sharing and end-to-end encryption usually do not mix.
Most local-first note apps sync only your own devices. Most collaborative apps hand your words to a server that reads them. Jotura does the harder thing: shared editing where keys are exchanged between the people in the share, and the server only ever relays ciphertext.
The crypto is documented on the security page. Both sides need Jotura Sync, £4 a month each.
Common questions.
How do I share encrypted notes with someone?
Right-click a folder or note in Jotura, share it, and invite them by email. They accept the invite and the notes appear in their own vault. Both sides need Jotura Sync.
Can we edit the same note at the same time?
Yes. Changes sync within seconds and simultaneous edits merge automatically. Jotura is built for a few people working in shared notes, not a fifty-person live document.
Can the people I share with see my other notes?
No. They see exactly what you shared, nothing else. Everything outside the shared folder stays encrypted to you alone.
Can I share a note read-only?
Yes. Invite someone as a viewer and they can read but not edit.
What happens when I stop sharing?
Removed members stop receiving anything new from that moment. Honest caveat: like any sharing system, someone who could read a note may have kept a copy of what they already saw.
