Your second brain — finally yours
Harbor — the private notes app and Evernote alternative you own for life: harbor.my
•everything.
Harbor is a private notes app you own for life — notes, documents, scans, and recordings, captured, searchable, and kept for good.
Free plan to start · No credit card
Evernote promised to be your second brain. Then it broke the promise.
Prices doubled, the free plan was gutted, the app got slow, and your data got harder to leave with. Harbor picks up the original idea — one private place for everything, forever — and commits to it in writing.
Capture
Save anything, in any form.
Find
Find anything — even inside your files.
Harbor reads the words inside your photos, scanned PDFs, and even your handwriting, so a two-word search surfaces the exact page. Your recordings become searchable transcripts, too.

Private
You decide what's private.
Turn on zero-knowledge encryption for any note or notebook — only you hold the key. Lock down the sensitive stuff and keep everything else fully searchable and AI-ready.
Every device
Everywhere you are. Even offline.
Genuinely native apps — fast and light, not a web page in a wrapper. Everything works with no signal and syncs the moment you're back.
Web Clipper
Save the web to your second brain.
Clip an article, a full page, a bookmark, or a screenshot — mark it up, then drop it straight into the right notebook, without ever leaving the page.
Bring your own AI
Connect the AI you already have.
You already pay for ChatGPT or Claude. Connect it to Harbor to search, add, and organize your notes — instead of paying us for a weaker one baked in.
Your AI
We don't build AI into Harbor — we open the door to yours. Your keys, your data, revoke anytime.
Everything else
One place for all of it.
Notes & notebooks
Simple notebooks and notes — no Markdown, no clever-tag gymnastics.
Tasks & reminders
Due dates, recurrence, and priority — right next to your notes.
Templates
Start faster with ready-made note structures you build once.
Version history
Every change saved, with one-click restore. Never lose an edit.
Public links
Share any note read-only — no account needed to view it.
Passkeys & 2FA
Sign in your way — passkeys, Apple, Google, and full device control.
Import & export
Bring Evernote in, take everything out — anytime, in the open.
Security
Zero-knowledge encryption and privacy by principle — never sold.
Own it for life
Never held hostage.
Stop paying and your memories don't vanish — your account goes read-only and you can still export everything. A real API, MCP, and one-click export mean you can leave anytime. We want you to stay because Harbor is great, not because you're stuck.
