Questions?

How is it different from Notion or Obsidian?

It has blocks like Notion, saves Markdown like Obsidian, but syncs for free.

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no paid plan. If you'd like to chip in, you can support Set on Ko-fi.

How does sync work without a cloud?

Pair two devices with a code and they sync directly. If two edits clash, you keep both.

What if Set goes away?

You'd still have your notes as Markdown, and the code is public.

Is there a phone app?

Not yet, but it's coming soon.

Can I write with other people?

Set is built for one person; there are no plans for collaborative writing.

Is there a catch?

Nope. It's still in beta though, let us know if something feels off.
