What Snug is
Snug is a private note-taking app for Android and iOS. Notes remain on the device in open Markdown, and the free plan costs nothing with unlimited notes, offline use, password lock, and PDF export. A distraction-free editor supports text formatting, while tags and links organize notes and connect related material. Optional end-to-end encrypted sync can provide encrypted backups and read-only note sharing. Sync may also include photos, voice notes, and a file vault. Snug says it has no ads, tracking, or data selling, and that the encryption key stays on the user’s device. Google Play reports no data shared with third parties and encryption in transit. The app listing names DinDon Digital Labs LLC as developer, with a Sheridan, Wyoming address; headquarters are also listed in Sheridan. Support is available at [email protected]. Local encryption, offline access, file attachments, and PDF export are listed capabilities.
