🚀 Tired of losing quick notes or ideas in the chaos of sticky apps, terminals, and random tabs?
I was too — so I built Instant Markdown Notes, a cross-platform desktop app that gives you a clean space to write and organize thoughts with zero distractions.
In this post, I share the why, how, and what's next behind this local-first tool. It features:
- 📝 A simple Markdown editor with live preview
- ⏱ Auto-saving notes with timestamps
- 📂 Daily files saved locally — no cloud required
- 🎯 Global shortcut (
Ctrl+Alt+N) to launch instantly - 🧰 Runs in the background with a tray icon
- 🧑💻 Built with Electron + Vite
Whether you're capturing meeting notes, code snippets, or random brain dumps, this app gets out of your way and just lets you write. It’s built for devs, makers, and anyone who types faster than they think.
