## About

Kapy Notes combines everyday notes, checklists, journals, and calculations in one calm workspace. Write equations directly into notes and see results in a slim rail beside the lines that need them, with support for units, currencies, totals, and conversions.

The Mac app works locally by default and offers optional end-to-end encrypted sync across macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. The free plan supports up to five notes, while the one-time Pro upgrade adds unlimited notes, collaboration, encrypted sync, and lifetime updates.
