The Notion alternative for people who actually take notes
Notion makes you build a database to write a note. Noteshik just opens to your notes. Offline editing, pen sketching, and $3.99/mo instead of $10. The note-taker's note app.
Free for 60 notes, no credit card. New subscribers get the first year of Pro for $18.99, then $24.99 a year.
Speed without the build
Notion is brilliant for project ops, slow for jotting. Noteshik treats notes as the unit, not pages-as-databases. You open it and start typing.
Real offline
Noteshik works on a plane, in a tunnel, on hotel wifi. Notion's offline is read-mostly. Noteshik keeps a local copy, so you write anywhere and it syncs when you're back.
Sketch with a pen
Draw in a note with Apple Pencil, Surface Pen or S Pen: pressure-sensitive strokes with palm rejection. Notion has no drawing 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 comes through as Markdown tables.
Why does Noteshik feel lighter than Notion?+
Notes are the unit, not pages-as-databases, and your notes are cached locally so they open without waiting on a workspace to load.
Does Noteshik have AI like Notion AI?+
Yes, included on Pro. Summarize notes and ask questions of your notes; voice-to-text is included too. Notion AI is $10/mo extra; ours is bundled.
