Description
Jotura is a fast, private notes app for Mac, Windows, Linux and Android. There's no Markdown to learn: select text to format it, and type / for tables, checklists and headings. Your notes stay plain files you own. Sync is end-to-end encrypted with three years of history, you can share a note or a folder with anyone as editor or viewer, and the Android app reads your books and saves your highlights as notes. It also works with your AI tools. The app is free. Sync is £4 a month.

Could you build this?
Partial A cross-platform native/desktop markdown editor is straightforward, but robust multi-device peer-to-peer or zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption with 3-year version history and conflict resolution is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The app would use Electron/Tauri with Flutter or native Android, backed by an encrypted CRDT (like Automerge or Yjs) or strict differential-sync protocol. Implementing bulletproof cryptographic primitives (libsignal or WebCrypto for zero-knowledge key exchange) combined with reliable local-first file-system syncing requires specialized cryptographic and distributed systems knowledge.
