I'm an indie developer and builder passionate about creating fast, minimal, and privacy-focused web tools.
I got tired of how complex everyday productivity software has become everything requires an account, subscription, or pushes endless popups just to write down quick thoughts.
So I built FreeNotepad a 100% free, local-first digital notepad that works offline in your browser with live Markdown, split-screen editing, and optional encrypted cloud sync.
We're getting ready to launch FreeNotepad tomorrow! I built this to solve a simple problem: modern note apps have become too slow, bloated, and require accounts just to jot down quick thoughts.
FreeNotepad is 100% free, local-first, offline-ready, and privacy-focused with live Markdown and dual split-screen view.
I'd love to hear from this community: What is your biggest frustration with existing note apps, and what feature would make your daily note-taking 10x better?
FreeNotepad is a fast, privacy-focused digital notepad built for distraction-free writing. Works 100% offline with zero sign-up required, featuring optional encrypted cloud sync across devices. Enjoy live Markdown formatting, split-screen note comparison, folders, filterable tags, and instant export to PDF and Markdown. Your notes remain private, secure, and stored directly on your machine.
