Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Juan, the solo creator behind FluidNotes. The Problem: Most digital note-taking apps today are bloated, force you into corporate ecosystems, require heavy server sign-ups, or track your data with analytics. I wanted something different: a notebook that feels genuinely like real paper, respects absolute privacy, and stays entirely out of your way so you can actually focus on thinking, studying, and creating. The Solution: FluidNotes is built to be your personal digital paper. It combines fluid, natural Apple Pencil/finger drawing with powerful modern tools—like on-device AI that builds mind maps and summaries, study groups via links/QR codes, and flashcards—all while keeping your notebooks strictly on your device and your own iCloud. Key Features ✨ * 🖋️ Paper-Like Experience: Smooth, precise writing with Apple Pencil on iPad or your finger on iPhone. * 🧠 On-Device AI Mind Maps: Turn pages or entire notebooks into interactive mind maps instantly (powered privately on-device). * 🔒 Absolute Privacy: No servers of our own, no user accounts, no tracking, and no ads. Your data lives on your device and iCloud. * 🤝 Study Groups & Sharing: Easily share notebooks or study pages with classmates and peers via secure links or QR codes. * ⚡ Cross-Platform Ecosystem: Available across iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Why I Built It: FluidNotes is a personal project built with genuine care for people who love handwriting, studying, and keeping their personal thoughts completely private. I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day! I would love to hear your feedback, answer any questions, and hear what features you'd like to see next. Let me know what you think! 👇
