This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
I'm the maker of Fish Notes — a clean, Bear-style Markdown note-taking app I built because I wanted something fast, local-first, and beautiful to write in, without an account, a subscription, or my notes living on someone else's server.
What it does:
✍️ Real-time Markdown editor (CodeMirror 6) with MD / Preview / Split views — write in source, see it rendered live 🏷️ Nested tags (#work/projects/ideas) to organize without folders 🔍 Instant full-text search powered by SQLite FTS5 🔒 End-to-end encryption (AES-256-GCM) for private notes — your password never leaves your device 🎨 4 themes (light / dark / solarized / anime) + a clean three-pane layout 🖼️ Drag, paste, or insert images right into your notes 💯 100% local — your notes are stored on your machine in plain SQLite. No cloud, no account, no tracking. Tech stack (for the curious): Electron + React + TypeScript + CodeMirror 6 + better-sqlite3. Available for macOS and Windows.
I built this solo and would genuinely love your feedback — what would make this your daily note-taking app? What's missing? I'm reading every comment today. 🙏
