Frequently asked questions
Buy or download — what’s the difference?
You can buy or download Skrifa for free; there is no difference in the product you get. Buying it contributes to development — every bit is split 50/50 between the projects Skrifa uses internally and project contributors, according to their work. You can also support development through Patreon.
You are NOT the product
We’ve all heard that “if you’re not paying, you are the product.” Skrifa is free and open-source software: no ads, no tracking, and it will never upload your information anywhere (except for a Skrifa account, if you choose to create one). Skrifa is here to help you regain safety and privacy.
Updates
You’ll see an icon whenever a new update is ready. To update, download the new release and install it: on Windows run the new installer, on macOS replace the app, and on Linux install the new version — or, if you used a package manager, updates arrive automatically.
Privacy limitations
By encrypting all your notes, you are the only one who can decrypt them. Skrifa can’t protect you if your computer is compromised (keyloggers, trojans, etc.). You can export notes encrypted or unencrypted — if you export them unencrypted, anyone will be able to read that file.
Take your privacy back
Your notes, encrypted and yours alone. Free, open source, and distraction-free.
