Cryptee review
A privacy-focused notes and storage app with offline access and plans up to 2000 GB.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cryptee is a privacy-focused service for encrypted notes, documents, journals, photos, videos, and other files. It is designed for privacy-conscious individuals and groups, including journalists, lawyers, researchers, students, and photographers. The service combines a browser-based editor with desktop and mobile access, supporting solo users through mid-market teams. Its open-source code, GDPR compliance, and deployment across cloud, desktop, and mobile add to its privacy-oriented positioning.
Pricing is structured around storage. The Free plan provides 100 MB and is free forever. The 10 GB plan costs €3 per month, while 400 GB costs €9 per month and 2000 GB costs €27 per month. The published plans show storage as the main difference between tiers. Cryptee encrypts content on the device using client-side AES-256 encryption before upload. Its editor supports Markdown, tables, checkboxes, code highlighting, KaTeX math, attachments, and cross-links. Ghost folders add a way to hide sensitive documents, while encrypted photo and video storage extends the service beyond text notes.
Platform coverage includes web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Offline use is available through installable progressive web apps, and supported document formats include PDF, DOCX, ODT, Markdown, and Evernote documents. That combination suits people who want encrypted notes alongside personal files and media rather than a notes-only tool. Users who need storage beyond the listed tiers, support channels beyond email and documentation, or integrations outside the stated import and export formats may prefer a different service. Cryptee is a strong fit for privacy-conscious users who value encrypted storage, offline access, and large capacity options.
