A workspace that bends to how you think.
Libreta is a personal notebook, planner, and database. Endlessly customizable, built for one person instead of a whole team, and refreshingly free of "AI agents". Your pages, your structure, your rules.
Your thoughts, not a model's
No autocomplete looking over your shoulder. Just you and a blank page.
Built for individuals
No seats, no comments, no shared-cursor noise. A calm space that's entirely yours.
Local-first & secure
Everything lives on your device. No account, no server, no internet required — ever.
One canvas for your whole life
Notes, plans, trackers, collections — all built from the same flexible blocks and databases.
Write in blocks that become anything
Every line is a block you can reshape — text, headings, to-dos, toggles, callouts, code, images, embeds, and nested sub-pages. Drag to reorder, stack side-by-side, or fold it all away.
- Rich text, lists, quotes, code & dividers
- Image covers, carousels, files & video embeds
- Multi-column layouts and collapsible toggles
- Nested pages with breadcrumb navigation
Databases, shown your way
Turn any collection into a database and flip between views without copying a thing. The same data as a table, a Kanban board, a calendar, or a timeline — filtered, sorted, and grouped however you like.
- Table, Board, Calendar & Timeline views
- Custom properties: status, select, date, text & more
- Filter, sort, group & colour-code at a glance
- Every row opens as a full page
Make it unmistakably yours
This is where Libreta pulls ahead. Reshape the home page, pick themes and accent colours, swap typefaces per page, and even flip on playful visual filters. Your workspace should feel like yours — so it does.
- Custom themes, accent colours & hex picker
- Per-page typefaces and page width
- Drag-to-arrange, collapsible home sections
- Just-for-fun filters: Pixel art, CRT & B&W
Thoughtful where it counts
Version history
Automatic page snapshots you can preview and restore — your words are never one mistake away from gone.
Yours to keep
Export your whole workspace as one portable file any time, and import it on another machine. No lock-in.
Works offline
Local-first by design. It's a desktop app — a plane, a dead-zone train, a cabin: it never needs a connection.
Nested pages
Build a hierarchy as deep as you like, with a drag-to-organize sidebar tree and breadcrumbs.
Instant search
⌘K finds any page by title or content in milliseconds, ranked so the right one is on top.
Private & portable
Your data is yours — export and import the whole workspace whenever you want, no lock-in.

Libreta is free and unsigned, so your OS will ask once: on macOS allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway; on Windows choose More info → Run anyway. Step-by-step, including the fix if macOS calls it "damaged" →
