Notepad

Notepad is an offline-capable, distraction-free note-taking Progressive Web App that autosaves notes in plain text locally in the browser. It offers a minimalist, ad-free writing experience with dark mode, focus and full-screen modes, writing timers, ambient background noise, and note statistics/snapshots. It also bundles several small tools such as a Markdown editor, Pomodoro timer, Voice Notes, Simple Kanban, Tasks manager, and more. The app is described as privacy-focused, lightweight, and proudly open-source.
