About Notes App

Notes App is a notebook that runs in your browser and stores everything on your own device. There is no sign-up, no account and no server: you write, organise and search without anything leaving your computer. It works offline, so you can keep taking notes on the train, on a plane or in the middle of nowhere.

What you can do

  • Write with formatting. Bold, italics, underline, links, lists and alignment inside the same note, without leaving the editor.
  • Colour-code by category. Give each note a colour: red for urgent items, green for pending tasks, blue for ideas. You can recognise them at a glance without reading the title.
  • Search as you type. The search box and filter bar respond while you type, which is the difference between finding a note among fifty and never finding it.
  • Automatic saving. Every change is saved while you type: there is no save button to forget.
  • Backup and export. Download a complete JSON backup and restore it whenever you want, for example when changing devices. You can also export your notes as HTML to read outside the app or as TXT for a plain-text copy.
  • Arrange it your way. Drag notes to reorder them and switch to dark mode when you are working at night.

Who it is for

It is designed for people who take notes often and do not want to depend on the cloud: a shopping list, project ideas, a class outline, details from a medical appointment. Because the content is stored in the browser, it is worth making a backup from time to time, especially before clearing your browser data.

If you want something simpler for daily to-dos, you can use Checklists Manager for checkbox tasks, or try a number puzzle for a break. And if you want to install it on your phone, the step-by-step instructions are below.
