Pricing
Two plans. No tiers to decode.
Free is a real plan, not a trial: ten times Evernote’s 50 notes, on three devices instead of one. Paid is one price for everything, at half of Evernote’s cheapest plan. The limits below are the limits the server enforces — nothing rounded up for the brochure.

Fine print
The details, up front.
- Storage counts both what you write (note content) and what you attach (images, audio, video, PDFs).
- The free plan allows 3 signed-in devices at a time. Signing in on a 4th signs out the oldest one; nothing is deleted.
- Per-file attachment limits on both plans: 10 MB for images and PDFs, 25 MB for audio, 100 MB for video.
- Each note’s content is capped at 1 MB — tens of thousands of words of formatted text. Attachments are the path for large files, not pasting them inline.
- AI actions reset daily at midnight UTC. The paid cap is there to keep AI costs sustainable, not to sell you more.
- Paid is billed through Stripe. Manage or cancel from your account settings; the checkout lives inside the app once you’re signed in.
Commitments
Written down before there was a customer to lose.
These are the reasons Mydeas exists. They’re meant to be a reason to say no to a growth tactic later, not copy.
Export is never paywalled
Any note as Markdown or HTML, or your whole account as one .zip with every note, your attachments, and a manifest — on either plan, any time, no request form.
No silent plan or limit changes
Any change to free-plan caps, pricing, or what’s included is announced in advance. Nothing is applied retroactively.
AI never touches your notes without a visible switch
AI actions are off by default. Turning them on is one explicit toggle on your account, and it names the vendor and says exactly what’s sent.
One plan, not a ladder
There’s no Starter / Advanced / Enterprise to climb. Paid raises limits; it doesn’t unlock features the free plan is missing.
Sync conflicts are never hidden
Collaborative editing merges changes live rather than quietly filing a “conflicting copy” somewhere you’ll find later.
Questions
Straight answers.
Is 500 notes free actually usable?
It’s ten times Evernote’s 50, on three devices instead of one, with every feature included — collaboration, sharing, history, OCR search, import, and the API. Notes you’ve moved to the Trash don’t count toward the 500.
What happens when I hit a free-plan limit?
You can’t create new notes (or upload new attachments) until you delete some or upgrade. Nothing you already have is locked, hidden, or deleted. The device limit works differently: signing in on a fourth device signs out the oldest one, so you’re never locked out.
Will the price or limits change like Evernote’s did?
One plan, and any change to limits or price is announced in advance and never applied retroactively. That’s written down as a standing commitment, not a launch promise.
Can I import from Evernote?
Yes — export from Evernote as .enex and import it from Import in the account menu (your avatar, top of the sidebar). Notebooks and tags come along. Notion’s “Markdown & CSV” .zip export imports the same way.
Do AI features read my notes?
Not unless you turn them on. AI actions are off for every new account. When you enable them and run an action, the text of that one note is sent to Anthropic’s API for that action and the result comes back. Nothing is sent otherwise.
Is it end-to-end encrypted?
No. Your notes are encrypted in transit and stored on our servers so search, OCR, sharing, and optional AI can work. If you need end-to-end encryption, Notesnook and Anytype do that well.
Does it work offline?
Yes — edits are stored on the device and merge when you’re back online. Real-time collaboration means that merge happens the same way whether you were offline for a second or a day.
Can I get my notes back out?
Yes, on either plan and without asking. Any note exports as Markdown or HTML, and your whole account exports as one .zip with every note in both formats, your attachments, and a manifest of notebooks and tags. Export is never paywalled.
Is there a mobile app?
iPhone and Android apps are built and in store review now. mydeasapp.com/get always has the current way to install — it sends a phone to the right store as soon as that listing is live, and until then the web app works on a phone and installs to the home screen.
Is there a desktop app or a browser clipper?
Not yet. Mydeas runs in any browser and installs like an app. A Chrome clipper and native Mac and Windows apps are on the way.
Is there an API?
Yes, for every account. Create an API key from the account menu, then use the REST API for notes, notebooks, and tags, or register a webhook to be notified when something is shared with you or commented on. An MCP server isn’t there yet.
