Notes that attach to your files and work. They remember what you were working on and come back when you need them. No more searching folders or digging through OneNote trying to find that one note you know you wrote somewhere.
No AI. No cloud dependency. ClingNote is local-first, so your notes stay on your PC.
I built it because I was tired of notes being completely disconnected from the thing they were actually about. If I wrote something about an Excel file, PDF, document, or project, I wanted that note to just be there when I came back to it.
It started because my notes were always scattered. Id have notes about an Excel file sitting in OneNote, something about a PDF in Notepad, and then note about other stuff in Word saved in random folders throughout my computer. It was a mess to find them..
So I built the thing I wanted: notes that attach to your files and work.
Open the file later, and the note comes back with it. Switch to something else, and ClingNote switches context too.
It s local first, Windows-only, and also has the normal note-taking stuff like rich text, Markdown, search, multiple notes per file, and a smaller, minimalist pop out notes.
