UtsushiLive sync
Edits land on your other machines as you type, each machine's cursor in its own colour.
Every feature
Everything Utsushi does.
Out of your way until you need it.
Every feature beyond writing stays hidden until you call it up. Here's all of it, in one place.
Write
A calm editor that keeps up with you.
Slash commands
Type / to insert a table, image, secret key or note link.
Tables
Select a whole row or column to delete or cut it in one go.
Code blocks
Pasted or dropped code keeps its exact spacing, highlighted by language.
Copy code from screenshots
Text recognition runs on your machine; the image is never uploaded.
Images you can mark up
Resize, align and wrap text around images, and annotate them with pen, arrow, box and text.
Attach any file
Any file, encrypted like everything else. PDFs, audio, video, images and code preview right in the note.
Link previews and embeds
Links show a preview in the desktop app; YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Spotify, Figma and CodePen can play in the note.
Highlight
Highlight text with ⌘⇧H, or type ==text==.
Secret keys
Keys stay masked, copy without being shown, and leave the clipboard after 30 seconds.
Organise
Find anything without filing anything.
3D linked-note graph
Type [[ to link notes. Linked notes become folders, and the graph shows which machine has each one open.
Quick Switcher
Search titles and note text with ⌘K, and see which machines have each note open.
Tasks with due dates
Every checkbox in one list, grouped Overdue, Today and Upcoming. Type @fri and it is due Friday.
Bookmarks
Pin the notes you keep coming back to along the top of the window.
Quick capture
⌘⇧Space brings up a new note from any app.
Keep it safe
Private by design, and hard to lose.
End-to-end encryption
AES-256-GCM with a key made on your device. We only ever store ciphertext.
Works offline
Keep writing with no connection; it syncs the moment you are back.
History and comparing versions
Versions are saved as you pause. Pro compares any two side by side.
Bin
Deleted notes wait in the Bin on every machine: 2 days on Basic, 30 on paid plans.
Encrypted daily backups
In the desktop app, one a day on your own disk, the last seven kept. Restoring merges, never overwrites.
Recovery options
Lost your password? Use your recovery key, or approve the new device from one already signed in.
Your machines
Rename machines, remove them, or sign one out remotely from Settings.
Make it yours
Set it up the way you work.
Rebindable shortcuts
Every action has a key and every key can change, like Spectacle. Clashes are flagged as you type.
Themes and appearance
Dark or light, saved to your account. Pro adds accent colours and writing fonts.
Page width
Comfortable, wide or full-width lines.
Help at a keystroke
⌘/ shows every shortcut, read from the same list Settings uses.
Automatic updates
The Mac, Windows and AppImage apps update themselves.
Keyboard first
Shortcuts you set, like Spectacle.
Settings → Keyboard shortcuts lists every action with its keys. Click a row and press new keys. Esc cancels, Backspace clears, and ↺ puts one back.

Platforms
One account, every machine.
The same app and the same notes everywhere.
The .deb and .rpm packages don't update themselves; download the new version from the download page. Quick capture, link previews, daily backups, automatic updates and AI connections need the desktop app.
Start writing on every machine today.
Free on two machines. Encrypted from the first keystroke.
