Hi Everyone. I wanted a notes app I could open on a plane. Most of the ones I like are good software with a server attached, and the server is the part that breaks: the account, the sync conflict, the pricing change, the outage on the morning you needed the notes. notem has no server. It is a web page that opens a SQLite database in your browser's own storage and writes to it. There is no sign-up because there is nobody to sign up to. Install it from your browser menu and it opens like a normal app, offline. What it does: - Eighteen block types from one / menu, or the markdown prefixes you already type. Headings, lists, to-dos, quotes, callouts, dividers, highlighted code, images, audio, video, and embeds from more than twenty sites. - Tables whose cells hold rich text, so links and math work inside a cell. - Charts that read from a table in the same note. Edit a cell and the chart redraws while you are still typing. - LaTeX, inline and on its own line. The math engine only downloads the first time a note actually contains an equation. - Search across every note, links between notes, drag to reorder, and undo that reaches all of it. - Light, dark, and system. What it does not do, on purpose: sync, collaborate, or phone home. There is no analytics code in it. The trade is real and I would rather say it than have you find it: clear your browser data and the notes go with it. So export is a first-class button. One note leaves as Markdown, all of them leave as a zip. Happy to answer anything.
