Advanced features & donations
Notefox is, and will always be, a free and open-source project. Creating an account, syncing your notes, and using the browser extension costs nothing.
Starting today, the features that were previously called "pro features" are now available to all users for free. Everyone with a Notefox Account can use sync history, edit notes from the web, and benefit from any future advanced feature — no donation required.
What is included
-
Sync history
Keep previous versions of your synced notes on the server. If you accidentally delete or overwrite a note, you can go back and download an earlier version.
-
View and edit notes from the web
View and edit your synced notes directly from the Notefox website, without the browser extension. Useful when you are on a device where the extension is not available. Browse all your notes with search and sorting, and edit them with the full set of features: rich text formatting, tags, colours, and folders.

More to come
New advanced features will be added over time and they will automatically become available to all users — no extra steps needed.
Why these features are expensive
These features require significantly more server resources than basic note syncing. Keeping the sync history means storing every version of every note for every user — which multiplies the storage and database costs. The web editor adds server-side processing, bandwidth, and ongoing maintenance work. All of this runs on infrastructure that the developer pays for out of pocket.
Making these features free for everyone is a deliberate choice: we believe all Notefox users should have the best experience possible. But this is only sustainable if the community helps cover the costs.
Support the project with a donation
If you use and enjoy these features, please consider making a donation. Even a small, periodic contribution makes a real difference — it helps cover the ongoing server costs and allows the developer to keep improving Notefox without charging anyone.
A recurring donation (e.g. yearly) is especially valuable because it provides a predictable income that helps plan ahead and keep the service stable. But one-time donations are appreciated just as much.
How to donate
LiberaPay is a free and open-source platform for donations, and for this reason it is the preferred way to support the project. Choose Stripe as the payment method (credit card or SEPA direct debit) to ensure that almost the entire amount directly reaches the project, thanks to Stripe's lower processing fees.
If you have questions or want to get in touch with the developer, you can do so through one of these channels:
Important
A donation is a voluntary contribution and is not refundable. Notefox is not a paid service — it is a free, open-source project maintained by an independent developer. The advanced features are available to everyone regardless of whether they donate. Your support simply helps keep the project alive and sustainable for the long term.
