Benome on Windows: folders nested in a tree on the left, and an open trip plan with a photo, headings and map links on the right.

What it does

A place for thoughts, arranged your way.

  • Your own tree

    Folders and notes, inside folders or on their own. Pin the notes and folders you need most, give a folder an emoji you’ll spot at a glance, and drag everything into the order you want.

  • Find anything

    Search every note and folder by word, tag, or when you wrote it. Open a result and the words you looked for are lit up where they stand.

  • Write the way you think

    Headings, lists, checkboxes, two columns side by side. Align text and pictures, set a few words larger, type #tag anywhere.

  • Screenshots become notes

    Copy a screenshot and press Ctrl+Shift+V. Its text becomes headings and lists you can edit, its photos stay where they stood. Read on your computer, never sent.

  • Print or save as PDF

    Any note, laid out cleanly for paper, or saved as a PDF from its menu.

  • Read at your size

    Text from 80 to 200 percent, the column widening with it.

  • Catch it before it slips

    Type it or say it in the quick note at the foot of the tree, and sort it into a folder later, when you have time. Dictation is heard on your own computer; your voice never leaves it.

  • A backup that opens without Benome

    Your notes are mirrored as plain files to a folder you choose, on your computer or in your cloud, kept up to date on their own. Restore them into Benome, or open them in any browser.

  • Nothing is lost by accident

    Deleted notes wait in the trash, and every delete can be undone in one click.

Private by design

Your notes live on your computer, until you choose otherwise.

There is no account and no server behind Benome. Nothing you write is uploaded, counted, or read by anyone but you.

Read the privacy policy
  • No account. Open the app and write. There is nothing to sign up for.
  • No tracking. No analytics, no ads, no crash reports sent home.
  • Your voice stays here. Dictation is heard on your computer. Audio is never saved or sent.
  • Yours to keep. Leave Benome any time: every note stays readable in any browser, with its pictures and folders.
