Thoughts
Local-first micro-notes for quick thoughts, ideas, and links
Thoughts is a private, local-first micro-notes app for capturing quick thoughts, ideas, links, and personal notes. No account, no cloud sync, no ads, no tracking, just a clean offline writing space that stays on your device.
I built Thoughts because I wanted a simple place to write quick thoughts without turning them into a full document, a social post, or a cloud-synced database.
Most notes apps feel too heavy, too connected, or too distracting. Thoughts is intentionally focused: open it, write a thought, save it, search it later.
It is a local-first notes app with no account, no cloud sync, no ads, and no tracking. Your notes stay on your device.
The Android app now includes:
Minimal Mode for blank-screen writing
Quick micro-notes
Hashtags and search
Pinning
Local-only storage
App Lock
Secure Recents protection
Encrypted backups
Export/import
Appearance customization
Custom app icons
Offline support
PWA + Android app
There is also a hidden God Mode for people who like discovering extra controls inside apps.
I’m building this as an indie maker, and I care a lot about clean UI, privacy, and small tools that actually feel good to use.
I’d love feedback on the UI, Android experience, onboarding, and what should come next: widgets, reminders, richer markdown, calendar-style review, or something else?
The Android app has more privacy and customization features than the PWA version.
Some Android-specific highlights:
Minimal Mode: a blank writing surface for instant thoughts
App Lock using Android device security
Secure Recents protection to hide private content from app previews
Encrypted backup export/import
Custom launcher icons
Accent colors and font controls
Reduce Motion and high contrast options
Dual / Decoy Mode
Emergency Wipe option
Hidden God Mode unlock
For testers: open Settings → Guides & About → About Thoughts, then tap the version number 7 times.
I added this because I wanted Thoughts to feel like a private personal writing tool, not just another basic notes app.
