Why we built Dispatch

About

We just wanted somewhere to write things down. Phone, Mac, Windows - didn't matter. Just somewhere that synced without uploading our stuff to someone else's server.

Tools exist that get close. We tried them. But they always came with a learning curve, a setup process, a config file, a "just read the docs" moment. Getting it working for ourselves was one thing. Getting someone else set up? Forget it.

We didn't want a powerful tool we had to learn. We wanted something quick and right-there. Something that doesn't get in your way - just catches whatever you need, whether it's for later or for right now. A place to format a proper doc or just jot a thought and find it again. One place, not a disjointed story scattered across platforms.

So we built Dispatch. Plain files, on your devices, synced directly between them. Right-click a note, pick which device, done. Nothing to configure, nothing to learn, nothing to worry about.

Made by a small team in Netherlands who think the best writing app is one your mom can use without calling you for help.

Vol. II · Privacy

No server ever sees your notes.

Most apps sync through their cloud - meaning they can read everything you write. Dispatch connects your devices directly, with end-to-end encryption. No account, no server storing your words, and no company that can be compelled to hand them over.

End-to-End Encrypted

Unreadable to anyone but you and the recipient

No Account Needed

Open the app and start writing

No Tracking

Zero analytics or tracking inside the app

Nothing Stored

We can’t access your notes, even if asked

Vol. III · Your Files

You own every word you write.

Every note is a plain file on your device. Not trapped in a database, not locked behind a proprietary format. Open them in another app, back them up to a USB drive, or just leave them where they are. If you stop using Dispatch, your notes don’t leave with us.

Plain Files

Standard files you can open in any app

Your Way

Back up to iCloud, a USB drive, whatever you trust

Tag & Organise

No Lock-In

Switch apps anytime - no export step needed
