FOR THE WORK IN FRONT OF YOU.

A little context.
Right where you need it.

A question to ask. A detail to mention. Peek at your agenda while the conversation stays in view.

Keep a reference beside your work.

A specification, a useful snippet, a few key details. Read what you need, then carry on with your document.

Quick reference
03 / BETWEEN TASKS

A short working list at the edge of your screen. Update it as you go, and unpin it when you’re done.

Before you

MINO is a free desktop edge deck for screen-edge notes: a place to pin the talking points, references and working notes you want within reach. Hover a tab to peek; click to edit. It is free to use, with no advertisements or account requirement.

Absolutely. Your notes are saved locally on your device. Writing, searching and organizing notes do not require an internet connection. Downloading and setting up the app may require internet.

Yes. MINO has Windows x64 installer and portable downloads, plus a universal macOS DMG for Apple Silicon and Intel. The Mac build requires macOS 13.3 or later; Windows requires WebView2. Portable notes still live in your local user profile—it is not a self-contained USB vault. Check each package’s requirements and version before downloading.

In MINO’s local application-data folder on your device, not in an online account. Use password-protected backups when transferring private notes. Markdown, text and legacy JSON exports are readable. See Privacy for platform-specific encryption details.

LOCAL & PRIVATE

Your notes. Your device.

MINO does not require an account and has no telemetry or analytics. This website uses no analytics, tracking cookies or external font/icon services. A short-lived session cookie protects downloads; it is not used for tracking. Sharing your email for MINO updates is optional; downloading directly does not submit an email.

Your notes stay on your device. Encryption and key protection are platform-specific.

Windows release: encryption details. Note titles and bodies are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The key is protected by Windows DPAPI for your Windows account. Organizational metadata such as colors, timestamps and relationships is not encrypted.

Exports to Markdown, text or legacy JSON are readable. Password-protected portable backups are the appropriate way to transfer private notes between user accounts.

The optional encrypted folder mirror is one-way mirroring—not two-way sync. The examples on this page stay in memory and disappear when you refresh.

A LITTLE HELP

Getting started.

Before reporting an issue, note your MINO version, operating system and version, and steps to reproduce. Do not share private notes or encryption keys.
