1
Unzip & open
Download the zip above, extract it anywhere, and open VaultBook.html in Chrome, Edge, or any Chromium browser. That's the entire app — one file.
2
Connect your folder
Click the 📁 button in the toolbar and select the folder you just extracted. VaultBook stores notes, attachments, and settings right there on your device.
3
Create your first note
Hit Create Note, give it a title, and start writing. Add labels, attach files, organize into pages — your workspace grows with you.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

A complete workspace packed into a single, portable file.

AI Suggestions & Smart Search
Ask questions in natural language and get ranked answers from your own library. The AI learns your reading patterns, surfaces upcoming tasks, and recommends related entries — all processed locally, never sent anywhere.
Military-grade encryption
Protect sensitive entries with AES-256-GCM encryption and PBKDF2 key derivation. Each note gets its own password — decrypted text lives only in memory and never touches disk unencrypted.
Deep search & inline OCR
Search across titles, note bodies, labels, sections, attachment names, and even text inside attached files. Inline OCR automatically extracts text from images within your notes and indexes it for search.
Pages, labels & sections
Organize notes into nested pages with drag-and-drop. Tag entries with color-coded labels. Break long notes into collapsible sections, each with its own rich editor and attachments.
Rich editor with everything
Format with headings, tables, code blocks, callouts, lists, and inline images. Switch fonts, transform case, pick text and highlight colors — from a clean toolbar that stays out of your way.
Scheduling & timetable
Set due dates, expiry dates, and repeat schedules on any entry. The built-in timetable gives you day and week views, and the AI surfaces what's coming up in your suggestions feed.

Common questions

Do I need an internet connection?
No. VaultBook runs entirely in your browser from a local HTML file. Your data is stored in a folder you choose — nothing is uploaded or synced to any server.
Which browsers are supported?
VaultBook works best in Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other Chromium-based browsers that support the File System Access API. Safari and Firefox have limited support for local file access features.
Can I migrate from Obsidian or other apps?
Yes. Use the built-in Obsidian Import tool to drag and drop your .md files. Notes, titles, and content are converted and ready to search immediately.
How do I back up my data?
Your entire workspace is a regular folder on your computer. Copy it, sync it with Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive, or push it to a USB drive — whatever works for you.
Is my data encrypted at rest?
With Pro, you can encrypt individual entries using AES-256-GCM. Each entry has its own password, and decrypted content is held only in memory — it's never written to disk unencrypted.
What's the difference between Plus and Pro?
Plus gives you a solid note-taking workspace with rich editing, file attachments, labels, and search. Pro adds AI-powered features like smart search, related entries, inline OCR, per-entry encryption, analytics, timetable, version history, and all 12+ built-in tools.
