ChenHQ Notesnook

Self-hosted sync server. Point the Notesnook app here.

Paste these into the app

Settings → Servers. Four fields, in this order. No trailing slashes.

notesnook-synchttps://api.notes2.chenhq.com
authhttps://auth.notes2.chenhq.com
ssehttps://events.notes2.chenhq.com
monographhttps://mono.notes2.chenhq.com

There is no attachments field — the app gets files.notes2.chenhq.com from the server itself. Tap Test connection, then Save.

Setting up a client

  1. Install Notesnook (iOS, Android or desktop).
  2. Before signing in, open Settings → Servers (on the sign-in screen it may be under the “self-hosted” option).
  3. Enter the four URLs above, exactly as shown, then Test connection.
  4. Create your account. It lives on this server, not on notesnook.com.
  5. Turn on two-factor authentication once you are in.
Your notes are encrypted before they leave your device. The key is derived from your password, and this server only ever stores ciphertext. That also means nobody can recover your notes if you forget the password — put it in Vaultwarden now. It is also why Notesnook cannot offer Microsoft 365 SSO.
