About

Diode Collab™ is a decentralized, local-first collaboration tool that combines secure chat, file sharing, VPN-like access, and team coordination inside a private “Zone.” All communication and data stay fully end-to-end encrypted, with no third-party servers involved - not even Diode can see your activity. Use it for secure messaging, files, notes, dashboards, and external uploads—without ever compromising identity or privacy.

About

NoteRich is a smart note-taking app built around rich editing, AI memory, and local-first privacy. Your original notes stay 100% on your device, while AI features use only minimal context temporarily, without compromising privacy. It combines Markdown and rich text in one workspace, allowing users to write polished documents or work quickly with code-friendly syntax. Notes can include tables, charts, code blocks, math formulas, Mermaid diagrams, Graphviz graphs, ECharts visualizations, attachments, and media, making NoteRich useful for research, documentation, planning, and personal knowledge management. Its AI assistant is powered by local notes and gets smarter over time, helping users scan and extract content, summarize ideas, ask questions, and generate personalized insights from their own knowledge base. NoteRich’s AI Memory transforms a passive note collection into an active, intelligent knowledge base by combining local-first privacy with retrieval-augmented generation.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Diode Collab is the only chat and file sharing app that I know of that doesn't store data on the cloud AND that doesn't require us to run a server. It has chat, but importantly also has a "drive" UI like Google Drive. Also, we routinely need to provide our team with private AI and private dashboards for our business systems - Diode Collab integrates with the rest of their zero trust networking capabilities and makes this basically one-click.
  • Using Diode has been a really smooth experience overall. Once you get going, everything just makes sense clients, fleets, zones, and secure connections all work together without needing centralized servers or extra services. I really like knowing that everything is end-to-end encrypted by default and that I’m fully in control of my identity and access.
  • I use Diode Collab almost daily. It let's me chat and share assets securely with clients. It's easy to set up and onboard. What I like most is the ability to create secure zones for my clients that only they can access. The usernames are anonymous so there is no personal information needed. When we need security and anonymity, Diode is the solution.
  • It takes privacy and security seriously, unlike its mainstream competitors. It also looks great, is fast, and just works.
  • I've been testing Diode Collab for a few months — actually since the very beginning — and I consider it an excellent communication tool for anyone who values the security of their data and information. One of the features I like the most is the ability to create your own zone, like a private server or community, similar to platforms like Discord or Slack — but with zero-trust protection built in by default. That level of privacy is simply not offered by traditional tools.

Cons

  • It is more complex than a consumer chat app - more like Slack or Discord, so that always takes new team members some time to get used to it. They use blockchain to achieve the "Self Custody and Serverless" approach, so things that require blockchain transactions take longer than normal apps. e.g. when you join a Zone, that takes a minute or two, whereas with other chat apps like Slack it is faster.
  • Honestly, I don’t really have anything negative to say. If I had to nitpick, there’s a bit of a learning curve at first just because Diode does things properly instead of taking shortcuts, but once you understand it, it all clicks. Other than that, no issues, no headaches, and nothing that takes away from the overall experience.
  • Diode uses blockchain authentication so a new zone may take up to 5 minutes to initialize, but it's a small price to pay for zero trust security.
  • There's nothing I don't like. It just needs more adoption!
  • There’s a small learning curve at first, especially for users unfamiliar with decentralized tools — but once you get the hang of it, the experience is smooth and rewarding. I believe that with every new update, the user experience will become even more intuitive.
