A Privacy-First Alternative to Pinterest Notes: Local-Only Annotations

Privacy is not a luxury; it's a right. When you write a private note, it should stay private. But most cloud services scan your text for keywords to target ads.

The Ad Machine

If you write 'pregnant' in a cloud note, expect baby formula ads tomorrow. If you write 'engagement ring', expect jewelry ads.

Local-Only: The Anti-Ad

Notestopin runs entirely in your browser sandbox. Your notes are saved to your hard drive. We don't have a server to receive them even if we wanted to. This architectural decision guarantees that your private thoughts remain truly private.

It's a return to the days when software served the user, not the advertiser.
