About:
Turtl is an encrypted, open-source platform for securely storing and sharing sensitive information like notes, documents, and bookmarks. It uses client-side encryption to ensure that only you and intended collaborators can access your data. This makes it a private alternative to cloud-based note-taking services that may not prioritize user privacy.
Key Features:
  • End-to-end AES-256 encryption for all data
  • Collaborative sharing with granular permissions
  • Cross-platform syncing across desktop and mobile
  • Self-hostable for full data control
Use Cases:
  • Storing sensitive personal notes and credentials securely
  • Collaborating on private projects with team members
  • Creating a self-hosted knowledge base
Alternatives:
  • Standard Notes – Similar focus on encryption and privacy, but Turtl offers more collaborative features and self-hosting options.
  • Joplin – Open-source and extensible, but Joplin's sync is less secure by default compared to Turtl's end-to-end encryption.
