Yesterday, I had a simple need—I wanted a quick way to jot down thoughts without the hassle of creating new notes or organizing folders. Instead of searching for an existing solution, I built one myself. That's how NoteUX was born!

It’s a minimalist, distraction-free note-taking space with multiple scratch pads, so you can quickly type and switch between notes without any extra steps. No sign-ups, no clutter—just an instant writing experience.

Supports Fullscreen Mode, Dark Mode and Download notes.

What do you guys think?



Hi - thanks for your efforts. I have found myself using this quite a bit over the past few days - I really like the simplicity. Is there a shortcut key to switch to and from each note? To me this is the only feature missing..


Text editor is already invented but nice try.


>without the hassle of creating new notes or organizing folders

Have you missed this part?


Not the OP but I share the sentiment. Doesn't everyone have a default text editor with a Ctrl-N shortcut or equivalent to create an empty text file? That's what I do every time I need to create a quick note. Maybe I don't spend as much time in the browser as everyone else.


So to avoid the hassle of organising folders, you create an editor with only a single folder that has 8 files in it? I can replicate this in a normal text editor by simply using only one folder with 8 files in it. For advanced CLI users, an even simpler (and arguably better) solution to this problem exists:

  vim notes/"$(date -Iminutes)".txt      # author a new note
  vim notes/"$(ls notes | tac | sed 8q)" # edit the 8 most recent notes, starting from newest


I get your point and I agree.
