About the startup
SNOQ is a secure notes app for Windows that keeps your writing completely private. Every note is encrypted with AES-256 before it touches your disk — and nothing ever leaves your machine. No cloud sync, no account signup, no telemetry. Just open the app and start writing. Built as a native WPF app (not Electron), so it's fast, lightweight, and feels right at home on Windows. ✨ What you get 🔒 AES-256 encryption with Argon2id key derivation 📴 100% offline — no cloud, no sync, no account ✍️ Rich text editor with headings, lists, code blocks, and images 🗂️ Multi-tab interface — work on several notes at once 🔍 Full-text search across every note, not just titles 🏷️ Categories to keep things organized 🔐 UI lock — hide everything with a hotkey when you step away 📄 PDF export and encrypted vault backups 🌙 Dark & light themes that follow your system 🚫 Zero telemetry — the app never phones home 💡 Who it's for People who want to write privately — journal entries, passwords, work notes, random ideas — without trusting a cloud service or creating yet another account. 💸 The price Free. Forever. No premium tier, no paywall, no feature limits. Windows 10+ · ~180 MB installer · No signup required
