Features
- Simple note taking and list making: Includes an undo delete feature.
- Retro terminalesque design: Inspired by Unix customizations found online.
- Use unix like commands to set or remove notes tabs.
- Lightweight: Consumes only 0.05% CPU and 128KB of RAM. After all, simple apps shouldn't need more—remember, the Apollo mission operated on a computer with around 4KB of RAM!
- Highly customizable: Offers many themes with plans to add more customizations such as fonts, font sizes, and border colors.
Features That Won't Be Added
- Editing a note: Experience shows that editing a todo list can lead to chaining multiple tasks. The purpose here is to quickly jot down ideas and tasks, not for deep thinking. For that, a dedicated text editor is more appropriate. (Open to discussion!)
No Cloud Integration
This app is designed to operate entirely locally, with no cloud storage involved.
Tab Management
- To add a new note tab, use the
///TabNameformat. - To remove any tab (except the Main tab), use the
\\\TabNameformat.

Roadmap
- Get user feedback and suggestions to improve and expand the project scope.
- Fix import
.jsonbugs. - Enhance accessibility with larger touch areas.

- Add translations.
- Introduce more themes and font options.
- Implement design changes.
- Make the UI more responsive for tablets and larger screens.
- Develop widgets (e.g., Java fetching notes from localStorage, a static scrollable list of existing notes).
- Explore cloud saving options.
- Integrate app data piping to Obsidian or a new notes app.
- Add share intent functionality (to support QR apps that generate QR codes from text or
.json). - Incorporate a QR library to generate QR codes from notes and read them using the system camera, facilitating easy note sharing between devices.
