Remember the little things about the people you care about.

Everything stays on this device: no account, no internet, no AI. Nothing about anyone is sent anywhere.

Passcode lock

Add a passcode to encrypt your notes on this device (AES-GCM, using your browser’s built-in WebCrypto). Without the passcode, nobody can read them, and that includes you, so pick one you’ll remember.

About People Notes

People Notes helps you remember the little things about the people you care about: a friend’s cat’s name, that your colleague doesn’t drink coffee, when to ask how the move went. Add a person, jot down notes in one line, keep birthdays (no year needed) and follow-ups, and skim everything in big text before you meet. It is designed with autistic and ADHD adults in mind, and helps anyone with a big family or a busy head. Because you’re keeping other people’s details, everything stays on your device.

Questions

Is it free?

People Notes is completely free, with no limit on how many people you add. There are no ads, no account and no paid version.

Where are my notes stored? Does anyone else see them?

Only in this browser on your device. People Notes makes no network requests with your notes, has no account and uses no AI. Nothing about the people you add is sent to Favabeans or anyone else. You can also set a passcode, which encrypts everything on the device.

How do birthday reminders work?

Open “Coming up” and choose “Add to my calendar”. The app makes a calendar file (.ics) on your device and downloads it. Open it to add the dates to your normal calendar, which then reminds you. Only names and dates go into the file, never your notes.

Will people know I keep notes about them?

No. Nothing is shared or sent, and there is nothing for anyone else to see. It works like a private notebook that helps you be a more thoughtful friend.

Does it work offline and on my phone?

Yes. It runs in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and keeps working without internet after your first visit. You can add it to your home screen to open it like an app.
