Notion → Noteshik · note-first, native-fast

The Notion alternative for people who actually take notes

Notion makes you build a database to write a note. Noteshik just opens. Native speed, full offline, real stylus support, and $3.99/mo instead of $10. The note-taker's note app.

Note opens in < 1 second — no database setupFull offline edit + sync — works on a plane$3.99/mo vs Notion Plus's $10/mo
1

Speed without the build

Notion is brilliant for project ops, slow for jotting. Noteshik treats notes as the unit, not pages-as-databases. You start typing in under a second.

2

Real offline

Noteshik works on a plane, in a tunnel, on hotel wifi. Notion's offline is read-mostly with sync conflicts. Ours is conflict-free CRDT-based — write anywhere, syncs when you're back.

3

Stylus actually works

Apple Pencil, Surface Pen, Samsung S Pen — pressure, tilt, palm rejection. Notion has no real handwriting support. If you ever sketch a diagram, this matters.

Common questions

Can I import my Notion pages?+

Yes. Export your Notion workspace as Markdown, drop the zip into Noteshik. Page hierarchy and inline content come through.

What about Notion databases?+

Tables and lists migrate as tables. If you used databases as project trackers, the data is preserved as a structured table you can sort and filter.

Is Noteshik really faster?+

Yes — Notion is a web app rendered through their servers. Noteshik runs natively on your device with local-first storage. Cold load is under 1 second vs 3–6.

Does Noteshik have AI like Notion AI?+

Yes, included on Pro. Summarize, ask questions of your notes, transcribe handwriting. Notion AI is $10/mo extra; ours is bundled.
