Note Weaver for Mac and Windows is here!
Note Weaver is both a Rich Text and Markdown editor with a notes library to organize your notes. Note Weaver is designed for people who want a calm, capable writing space that still respects the private nature of personal notes, journals, technical material, research, and working drafts. You can write in rich text or Markdown, organize notes into folders, embed images, preview pages, and export documents, while keeping your library local-first. Synchronization is there when you need it, but the architecture is intentionally restrained: Fiction Loom relays encrypted traffic; your devices hold the readable data.
From Conception, to Infatuation...
I was preparing for the launch of Fiction Looms first product, MXD, when I started scrambling for the notes I'd make during the months of work that went into MXD. I use a popular note taking app. Actually, I've used all of the popular ones over the years. Bear, Obsidian, OneNote (if that is still actually popular) and I have always felt that they lack that final bit of polish that I like, and the fact that my notes always live in the cloud, however secure, is something that just bothers me. Then the idea of a secure relay hit me. I sat for the next eight hours and wrote a plan, and when I passed it to Codex, initially it said the secure relay could not be built. I asked why, and then rebuffed all of the bullet points with the ideas I'd obviously failed to capture in my plan, and I had to laugh, when Codex realized, I'd outsmarted it.
We build Note Weaver together, and from the start, I was in love with it. So much that I was leaving my notes in Note Weaver as we built it, and lost them when the fan got dirty a few times, but it has become my notes app, even before release. There are a few rough edges still, I admit, but we have a future feature list, and we're going to work hard to polish it more in the coming months.
I had settled on Obsidian for my notes for the last few years, so there is already a button to import notes directly from an Obsidian vault, that you can use today. If any images embedded in your markdown are accessible, we will copy them into your Note Weaver notes library for you. I have a substantial note library, and it imports in around 15 seconds. We've already added Bear import and will release it soon. We're hoping to add OneNote import as well, but if that is important to you, wait until it's released before you buy.

A Slightly More Meaty Explanation of our Secure Relay
Note Weaver sync is built around a live secure relay, not cloud storage. When your licensed devices synchronize, each device encrypts note and image payloads before they leave the app, using standard cryptography: ECDH P-256 for device-to-device key agreement, HKDF-SHA256 for key derivation, and AES-256-GCM for authenticated encryption, with HTTPS/WSS TLS protecting the transport connection as well. Fiction Loom’s relay server authenticates licensed devices, helps them find each other when they are online, and forwards encrypted envelopes between them. It does not decrypt those envelopes, and it does not write your note bodies, image bytes, encrypted note blobs, encrypted image blobs, or queued content payloads to server hard drives. Content-bearing sync data exists on the relay only briefly in process memory, long enough to pass it to another online device, then it is discarded.
This means Note Weaver gives you the convenience of multi-device synchronization without turning Fiction Loom into the keeper of your private notebook. The server may retain limited operational metadata needed to make sync work, such as licensed account identifiers, registered device IDs, public device keys, protocol capability information, and last-seen style status. But your actual writing, embedded images, and document content remain encrypted end-to-end between your own devices. If a device is not online, Note Weaver does not upload your notes to a server-side content queue for later delivery.
Change Log
V1.0.2 (July 9, 2026)
- You can now tap a Pin button in the sidebar top action menu. Pinned notes will display a pin icon and stay at the top of the folder or tag view. When the view contains several pinned notes, they will display in alphabetical order.
- Introduce Tag support with a new Tag section at the bottom of the left sidebar. Reference tagged notes from multiple folders in a single view. Tags are stored and can be deleted when no longer needed.
- Added Bear import with tags support
- Introduced a dual sidebar mode while leaving the single sidebar as an alternative workflow
- On the back end, we moved our initial synchronization relay server to a load-balanced, scalable architecture in anticipation of user ramp-up as people see how great Note Weaver is!
