What both publish
| Fact | Notr | Turtl |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | The README says notes are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before touching disk. | Turtl encrypts data on the client before transmission, so stored server data remains unreadable without users' keys. |
| Integrations | The README documents FZF workflows and a first-party Neovim plugin that uses fzf-lua to browse and edit notes. | The official feature and download pages describe Chrome and Firefox bookmarking extensions and Android sharing, but do not list other integrations. |
| License | Notr is released under the MIT License. | The desktop, core and browser-extension repositories identify the GNU GPL version 3 license, while the server repository uses AGPL-3.0. |
| Maker | The repository credits Kim Schulz as the creator; the maker's website describes itself as “One person – many ideas!” | Turtl states that the project is owned and operated by Lyon Bros LLC. |
| Purpose | Notr is an encrypted command line note-taking app with a modern TUI and pluggable sync backends. | Turtl describes itself as a secure, collaborative notebook for organizing bookmarks, passwords, files, and shopping lists. |
| Search | Notr supports case-insensitive and fuzzy search across notes, globally or within a notebook. | Users can search note text, filter by tags or untagged items, and sort by creation or edit date. |
