A notepad that grew up with the work
BlokNotes — from “bloc-notes”, the French and Dutch word for notepad — started with a simple irritation: why does thinking about the work and running the business have to happen in different tools?
The problem
Independent professionals and small teams live in a strange split. The thinking — meeting notes, plans, research, drafts — happens in a notes app. The consequences — deals, invoices, hours, follow-ups — happen in business software. The two never meet, so every workday includes a translation job: re-typing what was agreed into the tool that bills for it.
The belief
Notes aren't a side product of work — they are the work, one step before it becomes official. So BlokNotes makes the step short: the meeting note links to the deal, the deal becomes the quote, the quote becomes the invoice, the hours attach themselves along the way. One data model, one search box, one subscription — currently zero subscriptions, since it's free during beta.
The principles
- The writing surface stays calm. Structure lives around the editor, never inside your sentences.
- Connected beats complete. Each module earns its place by linking to the others — a CRM that ignores your notes is just another silo.
- Works wherever you do. Tax-flexible invoicing, EU and US data regions, multi-language documents, export without excuses.
- Honest software. Beta is labeled beta, free means free, and your data exports the day you ask it to.
Who builds it
BlokNotes is built by a small independent team — close enough to its users that the feedback you send lands with the people writing the code, usually the same week.
