Support

Get in touch

We're here to help. Choose the channel that works best for you:

• Found a bug or have a feature idea? Open an issue on GitHub Issues. This is the best way to report problems and request features so other users can see and contribute.
• Private or other questions? Email [email protected]. Support is best-effort since YANTA is an open-source project, but we'll get back to you.

For the latest releases and downloads, visit GitHub Releases.

System requirements

• Windows: Windows 10 or later
• macOS: Intel or Apple Silicon
• Linux: Modern distributions with Wayland or X11 support

Where are my notes stored?

All your notes are stored locally on your device at ~/.yanta/vault/ as plain JSON files. This means:

• Your data never leaves your device.
• You can safely back up your vault using git, Dropbox, Synology, or any other backup tool.
• You can edit JSON files directly if needed (though the app is the recommended way).

Frequently asked questions

Is YANTA free?

Yes. YANTA is free and open-source under the MIT License. No premium tiers, no ads, no strings attached.

Do my notes leave my device?

No. YANTA is fully local. Your notes never sync to the cloud, never call home, and never leave your computer unless you choose to back them up or share them.

How do I back up my notes?

Your vault folder at ~/.yanta/vault/ contains everything. You can:

• Copy the folder to an external drive.
• Version it with git.
• Sync it to cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.).

How do I update YANTA?

Download the latest version from GitHub Releases. Your notes and settings stay intact when you update.

Is there a mobile app?

Not yet. YANTA is desktop-only (Windows, macOS, Linux) for now. If you'd like mobile support, let us know on GitHub Issues.

How do I get YANTA?

Visit GitHub Releases to download the installer or portable version for your operating system.
